Gender Differences in Travel Mode Choice Behavior in Zhenfeng City

Abstract:

Gender difference is an important factor in travel mode choice behavior. In this paper, some characteristics of different travelers were found from a survey of Zhenfeng City. Based on the data, this paper developed MNL models about four main travel mode choices (walk, bus, car and motorcycle) of different gender, and six variables were used in the models. Overall, the models represented the gender differences in travel mode choice, and it was influenced by a wide variety of variables, including age, employment status, household income, number of cars, number of motorcycles and travel purpose.
