Analysis of Information Acquisition and Activity-Travel Patterns in Implementing an Activity Program

Abstract

The objective of the study is to analyze information acquisition and activity-travel patterns in traveling by walk and public transport through an experiment of implementing an activity program. It was examined when, where and how respondents used information by PHS spatio-temporal data and information diary survey. The process of activity scheduling and rescheduling, and information acquisition behavior were described in detail. The frequency of referencing a map was high for searching current location and travel route on road and in buildings. Pedestrian navigation system guiding a route of minimum distance in traveling multiple destinations could decrease travel distances.
