An Analysis of Weekend Activity-Travel and Implications for Surveys on Weekend Activity

Abstract

The necessity of weekend transportation plan is getting more and more important. However, even the activity-travel unit as basic information of transportation planning is not evident. Thus this researchfocused on the basic analysis of weekend activity-travel behavior. Both the aggregate analysis and the cluster analysis were adopted for its purpose. The aggregate results showed that the activity and travel varies between the Saturday and Sunday. However, the segmentation of non-workers and workers cleared the difference within each segment. Therefore, we concluded that the survey unit should be dependent on the analyzing purpose.
