Using Poisson Regression Model to Examine Student Travel Frequency Patterns in Beijing

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper applies Poisson regression model to examine university students' travel frequencies and relevant influence factors, using the data collected from four universities in Beijing by a web-based online travel survey. It finds that student grade, family income and school attended have significant effects on students' travel frequency. The study results reveal students travel frequency characteristics at a disaggregate level and provide information to well understand student travel frequency patterns.
