Understanding public transport usage by older adults is necessary to develop senior-friendly public transport and improve the mobility of older persons. Although extensive literature has examined the travel patterns of older adults, very limited efforts have been invested to explore the longitudinal variability in public transport usage by different age groups of older adults. To address this limitation, we developed user-monthly profiles to explore the seasonal variability in public transport usage by older adults and defined user-based time slots of the day and geographical user areas to represent daily trip patterns and examine day-to-day variability. Using one-year smart card transaction data and an anonymous cardholder database from Shizuoka, Japan, we evaluated the seasonal and day-to-day variability in public transport usage by older adults. We also analyzed the role of age and living environment in travel pattern variability. The results indicate that older adults in highly developed areas and younger-old group (aged 65–74) are more likely to be characterized by high-frequency public transport usage and low seasonal variability. Additionally, the day-to-day variability in public transport usage by older adults is greater in more developed areas and appears to increase with age. This study enhances our understanding of public transport usage by older adults, which may contribute to the development of senior-friendly public transport policies and services.

使用智能卡数据检查老年人的公共交通使用情况:日本的一项纵向研究

了解老年人使用公共交通工具对于发展老年人友好型公共交通工具和改善老年人的出行是必不可少的。尽管大量文献研究了老年人的出行方式,但为探索不同年龄段的成年人在公共交通使用中的纵向差异,人们付出了非常有限的努力。为了解决此限制,我们开发了用户每月概况,以探讨老年人使用公共交通工具的季节性变化,并定义了基于用户的每日时段和地理用户区域,以代表每日出行方式并检查每日变化。我们使用了一年的智能卡交易数据和日本静冈的匿名持卡人数据库,评估了老年人使用公共交通工具的季节性和日常变化。我们还分析了年龄和居住环境在出行方式变异中的作用。结果表明,高度发达地区的老年人和年龄较小的人群(65-74岁)更有可能以公共交通的频繁使用和低季节性变化为特征。此外,在较发达的地区,老年人使用公共交通工具的日常差异更大,并且随着年龄的增长而增加。这项研究增进了我们对老年人使用公共交通的理解,这可能有助于发展对老年人友好的公共交通政策和服务。结果表明,高度发达地区的老年人和年龄较小的人群(65-74岁)更有可能以公共交通的频繁使用和低季节性变化为特征。此外,在较发达的地区,老年人使用公共交通工具的日常差异更大,并且随着年龄的增长而增加。这项研究增进了我们对老年人使用公共交通的理解,这可能有助于发展对老年人友好的公共交通政策和服务。结果表明,高度发达地区的老年人和年龄较小的人群(65-74岁)更有可能以公共交通的频繁使用和低季节性变化为特征。此外,在较发达的地区,老年人使用公共交通工具的日常差异更大,并且随着年龄的增长而增加。这项研究增进了我们对老年人使用公共交通的理解,这可能有助于发展对老年人友好的公共交通政策和服务。
