“…video games, have provided alternatives for in-home activities which may lead to a decrease in the out-of-home activity duration for teenagers. This trend is similar to the trend found by Susilo and Waygood (2012), who analysed the evolution of the activitytravel patterns of children in the Osaka metropolitan areas between 1980 and 2000. A similar trend is also found among young men (18-30 years old), with a more dramatic decrease for partnered young men.…”

“…Second, earlier studies used a complex behaviour model (e.g. Susilo and Kitamura 2008;Susilo and Waygood 2012) but we add a distinction between different cohorts/generations and life-cycle stages (distinguished by age and household structure: with/without children and single/partnered living). Third, earlier studies explored the changes in detail via mobility biography among a small sample of respondents, such that the findings are difficult to generalise into a full population (e.g.…”

This study utilised the Swedish national travel survey covering a period of over 30 years. We investigated the long-term trends in activity-travel patterns of individuals in different life-cycle stages and generations using cohort analysis and a path model. The main findings are summarised as follows. The women, including mothers, in younger generations have become more active in out-of-home non-work activities and their trip chaining has become more complex, compared to their male counterparts. While men are still driving more than women, the gap is decreasing in the younger generations. The gender difference among teenagers in terms of out-of-home time use diminishes in younger generations. Teenagers of younger generations spend more of their leisure time inside their homes, possibly due to the rise of online activities and gaming and more time-consuming school trips, the latter attributed to changes in school choice policy. Older adults travel more, possibly due to better paratransit transport service, supported by better health services.

“…It is interesting to note that even in the most extreme cases the proportion of trips by car of household travel is only roughly 50%. Speculatively, this may be a result of the mixed land-usage in all areas and children's travel behavior has remained largely non-motorized (Waygood and Kitamura, 2009;Susilo and Waygood, 2012).…”

“…While the tendencies in travel, so far, have been expanding over time in terms of total travel time, distance, car usage, energy consumption, and the spatial extension of their action space (Krizek, 2003;Susilo and Kitamura, 2005;Scheiner, 2006;Sun et al, 2009;Susilo and Waygood, 2012), it is not clear whether these trends will continue in the future, especially due to the aging of the urban population and also that some evidence of plateauing car usage has been found (Millard-Ball and Schipper, 2011).…”

Using large cross-sectional datasets that were collected in the Osaka metropolitan area (OMA), Japan, this study systematically analyzes the structural changes in car ownership and usage in the OMA from 1970 to 2000. A simultaneous equations model system is developed for individuals that considers age, household lifecycle stage, built environment of the household location, car ownership levels, proportion of car trips on a given day, and total car travel duration. The estimation results show that private car ownership and car usage for the residents in OMA have expanded over time. Each residential area, each lifecycle stage, and each age group has their own unique characteristics of car ownership and car usage. The results further indicate that this expansion is largely due to changes in their structural relationships, while the changes in demographic factors play a relatively small and contradictory role.

“…Although exceptions exist (e.g., Hillman et al (1990) in England, Sjolie and Thuen (2002) in Norway and Susilo and Waygood (2012) in Japan), most research on children's mobility has been conducted in North America, which raises questions about the generalisability of these findings to other regions, as highlighted by Cervero et al (2009) in the case of Bogota (Colombia). Relatively little is known about children's mobility in Europe, although European regions and built environments have several significant differences from the countries discussed above.…”

However, little is known about children's mobility. This paper analyses the energy consumption, travel distances and mode choices for school commuting based on two decennial surveys in Belgium. The results highlight the following: (1) mobility behaviours have evolved drastically over the past decades for school commuting, an evolution that cannot be entirely related to land-use variables, (2) the energy consumption for school commuting is strongly dependent upon the school level, and (3) the links between land-use patterns and energy consumption for school commuting are different than those highlighted within the literature between urban forms and hometo-work commutes. The concentration of secondary schools and tertiary institutions in urban centres induces higher energy consumption rates, whereas the decentralisation of nursery and primary schools across the entire territory leads to very low local energy consumption and increased walking and cycling. These results provide a better understanding of school commuting within the European context and could guide future policies focused on transport energy consumption at the local scale.
