Abstract

This paper reports on research in which non-compensatory travel behavior is linked to the physical barrier constraints that are experienced by the urban elderly and handicapped. The objective is the development and estimation of travel demand models for the elderly and handicapped that incorporate the effects of physical barrier constraints, travel mode choice decision strategies and processes. The purpose of these objectives is to understand the components of travel demand by the elderly and handicapped in the context of reduced mobility, reduced accessibility, and limited spatial interaction. Knowledge of the interactions between physical barrier constraints, choice rules, and choice processes is useful information to policy makers and transit managers alike. It should enable them to identify what isrequired for a responsive and equitable transportation system to serve the elderly and handicapped.
