Abstract
Air pollution has negative effects on residents’ health. The publication of pollution information can affect residents’ commuting behavior. Causal relationships between variables can lead to chained effects on commuting mode choice under different pollution information. A questionnaire is designed to obtain residents’ commuting mode choice intention in polluted weather when they are informed of different pollution information. An improved Bayesian network model is established to evaluate the chain effect of commuting mode choice behaviors. The results of analyzing Xi’an residents’ travel data show that: as pollution information degrees increase, commuters tend to choose modes with lower PM2.5 inhalation and simplify their commuting process. Variables in each pollution scene can generally form 1–3 influence pathways. These pathways can be categorized by personal, travel, and pollution perception attributes. A more constructive inducement strategy can be developed using the results of this study to promote healthy travel habits among residents.
期刊介绍:
Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment focuses on original research exploring the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to these impacts, and their implications for transportation system design, planning, and management. The journal comprehensively covers the interaction between transportation and the environment, ranging from local effects on specific geographical areas to global implications such as natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution.
We welcome research papers across all transportation modes, including maritime, air, and land transportation, assessing their environmental impacts broadly. Papers addressing both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered. The journal prioritizes empirical findings and policy responses of regulatory, planning, technical, or fiscal nature. Articles are policy-driven, accessible, and applicable to readers from diverse disciplines, emphasizing relevance and practicality. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions and welcome contributions from economically developing and advanced countries alike, reflecting our international orientation.
