Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to explore how individuals responded to a robust and interactive daily travel feedback ; program. Fifty individuals from the Moscow, Idaho area participated in a before-and-after study using an android-based ; device that continuously logged their physical movement. All participants subsequently received an e-mail each day linking ; them to a website that showed one to five trips, predicted their mode of travel and trip purpose, and asked specific questions ; related to their daily travel. Based on the cumulative results of this study, participants reacted favorably to the ease of use, ; visual feedback, and information related to travel time, associated costs, and energy usage. However, the travel feedback ; program did not influence a dramatic change in travel behavior or mode during this particular two week study. It is ; anticipated that the lessons learned with regard to methodology and implementation will provide researchers and ; practitioners with valuable insight for future travel feedback or user nudging studies.
