Abstract:

The United States is experiencing an increase in its elderly population. According to Census Bureau ; estimates, this population should increase by 104.2% from 2000 to 2030, which translates into 72.1 ; million elders by 2030. This demographic change will affect the transportation system, like any other ; socioeconomic system. Thus, this study seeks to understand the dynamics of elderly activity-travel ; behavior and its potential effects on the transportation system to better identify and meet seniors’ ; transportation needs. The Urban Travel Route and Activity Choice Survey (UTRACS), an automated, ; Internet- and GPS-based prompted-recall survey that was coupled with learning algorithms, was ; employed for that purpose. In this report, the study team analyzes elderly tour formation, activity-trip ; planning, mode-choice selection, and activity timing.
