The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly reshaped urban mobility. During the lockdown, workers teleworked if possible and left home only for essential activities. Our study investigates the spatial patterns of essential travel and their socioeconomic differences during the COVID-19 lockdown phase in comparison with the same period in 2019. Using data from Columbus, Ohio, we categorized travelers into high, moderate, and low socioeconomic status (SES) clusters and modeled travel demand of SES clusters for both phases using spatially weighted interaction models. Then, we characterized the SES variability in essential travel based on frequently visited business activities from each cluster. Results suggest that disparities in travel across SES clusters that existed prior to COVID-19 were exacerbated during the pandemic lockdown. The diffused travel pattern of high and moderate SES clusters became localized and the preexisting localized travel pattern of low SES clusters became diffused. During the lockdown, the low and moderate SES clusters traveled mostly for work with long- and medium-distance trips, respectively, whereas the high SES cluster traveled mostly for recreational and other nonwork purposes with short-distance trips. This study draws some conclusions and implications to help researchers and practitioners plan for resilient and economically vibrant transportation systems in response to future shocks.

什么是基本旅行?COVID-19 封锁期间俄亥俄州哥伦布市旅行需求的社会经济差异

COVID-19 大流行深刻地重塑了城市交通。在封锁期间,工人尽可能进行远程办公,只为进行必要的活动才离开家。我们的研究调查了与 2019 年同期相比,COVID-19 锁定阶段基本旅行的空间模式及其社会经济差异。使用俄亥俄州哥伦布市的数据,我们将旅行者分为高、中和低社会经济地位 (SES) ) 集群和使用空间加权交互模型对两个阶段的 SES 集群的旅行需求进行建模。然后,我们根据每个集群中经常访问的业务活动来描述基本旅行中的 SES 可变性。结果表明,在 COVID-19 之前存在的跨 SES 集群的旅行差异在大流行锁定期间加剧。高和中 SES 星团的扩散行进模式变得局部化,低 SES 星团先前存在的局部化行进模式变得扩散。在锁定期间,低和中 SES 集群的出行主要分别是长途和中距离旅行,而高 SES 集群主要是为了娱乐和其他非工作目的而进行短途旅行。本研究得出了一些结论和启示,以帮助研究人员和从业人员规划具有弹性和经济活力的交通系统,以应对未来的冲击。分别,而高 SES 集群主要出于娱乐和其他非工作目的进行短途旅行。本研究得出了一些结论和启示,以帮助研究人员和从业人员规划具有弹性和经济活力的交通系统,以应对未来的冲击。分别,而高 SES 集群主要出于娱乐和其他非工作目的进行短途旅行。本研究得出了一些结论和启示,以帮助研究人员和从业人员规划具有弹性和经济活力的交通系统,以应对未来的冲击。
