Abstract

It is generally assumed that travel is a derived demand and that the time it takes is desirable to be short. However, travel time is sometimes accepted or deliberately reserved because it has meanings other than reaching a destination, and it is not clear under what conditions such recognitions are formed. The purpose of this study is to identify the factors that shape recognition of travel through a survey of intentions to shorten travel time. The aggregate analysis revealed that working on the day, the mode of transportation, the attributes of the accompanying person, and the level of satisfaction with the pre-movement activities made a difference in the recognition of travel. In addition, we evaluated each factor relatively by binary logit models describing whether the trip was a target for shortening or not. The results show that the presence of adult companions makes the largest contribution to acceptance for travel time, etc. These results provide new perspectives that should be considered in future transportation planning.
