There has been a growing interest in the association between online activities and daily activity-travel patterns. An analysis of this relationship is even more crucial considering the major disruptions to out-of-home activity participation and travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This study contributes to the literature by exploring the relationships between Information and Communication Technology (ICT) use (focusing on telework and online shopping) and time spent traveling using different transportation modes. Using Tobit regression models, we investigate the impacts of ICT use on three travel alternatives: (1) automobile, (2) public transit, and (3) active travel. The results show that the effects of ICT use vary across these three travel modes. For example, all else being equal, respondents with higher durations of telework tend to spend less time on auto and transit. Respondents with higher durations of online shopping spend more time walking and bicycling. This study also explores whether the effects of ICT use on travel durations vary across groups with different socio-demographics and residential location characteristics. For instance, the study finds the greater the level of land-use mixture, the stronger the association between online shopping and time spent bicycling and walking. The research findings can inform planners and decision-makers on the relationships between ICT use and overall travel behavior in order to assess travel demand under different levels of ICT use.

回顾虚拟出行对出行行为的影响:每天出行时间支出的探索

人们对在线活动与日常活动旅行模式之间的关联越来越感兴趣。考虑到由于COVID-19大流行而导致的户外活动参与和旅行的重大中断,因此对这种关系的分析更为关键。这项研究通过探索信息和通信技术(ICT)使用(专注于远程办公和在线购物)与使用不同交通方式花费的时间之间的关系,为文献做出了贡献。使用Tobit回归模型,我们研究了ICT的使用对三种出行方式的影响:(1)汽车,(2)公共交通和(3)主动出行。结果表明,在这三种出行方式中,ICT的使用效果各不相同。例如,在所有其他条件相同的情况下,远程办公时间较长的受访者倾向于将较少的时间花在汽车和公交上。在线购物时间长的受访者将更多时间花在步行和骑自行车上。这项研究还探讨了ICT使用对旅行持续时间的影响在具有不同社会人口学和居住区位特征的人群之间是否有所不同。例如,研究发现,土地使用混合体的水平越高,在线购物与骑自行车和步行所花费的时间之间的关联就越强。研究结果可以使规划人员和决策者了解ICT使用与总体出行行为之间的关系,以便评估不同ICT使用水平下的出行需求。这项研究还探讨了ICT使用对旅行持续时间的影响在具有不同社会人口学和居住区位特征的人群之间是否有所不同。例如,研究发现,土地使用混合体的水平越高,在线购物与骑自行车和步行所花费的时间之间的关联就越强。研究结果可以使规划人员和决策者了解ICT使用与整体出行行为之间的关系,以便评估不同ICT使用水平下的出行需求。这项研究还探讨了ICT使用对旅行持续时间的影响在具有不同社会人口学和居住区位特征的人群之间是否有所不同。例如,研究发现,土地使用混合体的水平越高,在线购物与骑自行车和步行所花费的时间之间的关联就越强。研究结果可以使规划人员和决策者了解ICT使用与总体出行行为之间的关系,以便评估不同ICT使用水平下的出行需求。
