Reducing family car-use by providing travel advice or requesting behavioral plans: An experimental analysis of travel feedback programs

An Exploration of Household Response to Personal Travel Carbon-Reduction Targets

“…They were then introduced to the interactive computer- By requiring participants to view their existing travel behaviour in detail a day at a time, the validity of the data could be crosschecked, reducing any errors incurred. This also ensured that the discussions which followed regarding behavioural response and adaptations would be based on modifying their 'real' travel patterns, rather than an optimistic assessment of the effects of the policy measure, separate from their actual behaviour (Jones, 1979, Fujii andTaniguchi, 2005).…”

“…Studies such as Fujii and Taniguchi (2005) have shown that provision of personalised feedback about travel opportunities and encouraging people to develop their own behavioural plans to reduce transport are effective approaches to promote behavioural change. Garling et al (1998) showed that an interactive interview procedure following on from collection of travel diary information made respondents consider their travel patterns and alternatives thoroughly with the result that predictive ability is improved.…”

Quantified Traveler: Travel Feedback Meets the Cloud to Change Behavior

“…directions for using alternative modes) as well as feedback information (e.g.. environmental impact such as the amount of CO2 emitted, the amount of exercise while traveling or the public health benefits) and fill out travel diaries. Researchers in Japan have conducted many such programs [6]. Travelers recorded travel in diaries using paper and pen.…”

“…Research on voluntary behavior change is often directed to reducing the use of private motor vehicles in urban areas Fujii and Taniguchi 2005;Rose and Marfurt 2007). in one study that investigated gender differences in travel mode changes, Rose and Marfurt (2007) found (using 2003-2004 Australia "Ride-to Work" annual event travel survey data) that female first-time transit riders were more likely (30%) than men (22%) to continue riding transit 5 months after the event.…”
