“…There is now a substantial literature on telecommuting and its impact on personal travel (for reviews, see, for instance, Hensher and Golob, 2000;Golob and Regan, 2001;Mokhtarian and Salomon, 2002;Zhang et al, 2005). Individual studies have their own specific objectives, but the overall theme of the literature is to determine to what extent the relationship is substitutional or complementary.…”

Online retailing is growing fast and claims are being made about its positive environmental impact relative to traditional shopping, particularly by the retailers themselves. There is, however, little concrete evidence to support the claims. Whilst there exists some research into the passenger travel implications of e-shopping, this paper seeks to analyse the issues involved in online shopping from both a passenger and freight transport perspective. The objectives of the paper are first, to set out the complex transport relationships involved in online shopping and in particular the interaction between the passenger and freight aspects and second, to shed some light on the environmental impact of online shopping. It concludes that as things currently stand, it cannot be stated with any degree of certainty that clicks are any more environmentally responsible than bricks. The paper is conceptual in nature and is the pre-cursor to an empirical study of the issue.

“…For instance, Wang and Law (2007) define ICT use as a binary variable indicating experience with any of a set of ICT tools, and investigate its effect on time use, travel time and number of trips. Zhang et al (2007) investigate the effect of a set of ICT indicators (frequency of internet use, number of cell phones in the household) on VMT and the number of walking and total trips. In an overview article Mokhtarian (2009) reports that generation is the dominant effect of ICT on travel.…”

Apps, activities and travel: an conceptual exploration based on activity theory

With the continuous advancement of (mobile) ICT devices and applications, their impact on travel, activities and time use becomes more diverse. This holds in particular for apps developed for mobile devices (smartphones). In this paper, we argue that the effect of ICT on travel and activities should be analysed at the level of a single specific device or application, rather than for broad classes of ICT devices. We propose activity theory as a framework to analyse the impact of smartphone apps on travel and activities. Activity theory describes how subjects apply tools (such as apps) to work on an object and achieve an outcome that is in line with the subject's motive. The application of the tool is embedded in an activity system which includes a community, formal and informal rules and in which a division of labour exists. We apply activity theory to analyse the effects of Whatsapp and travel feedback apps, based on existing literature about these apps. The analyses suggest that the activity systems of each app differ greatly in terms of object, motive, outcomes, community and rules, with implications for their use and impact. Both apps have an impact on travel, but differ with respect to whether this effect is intentional. For both apps contradictions in the activity system can be identified, which may give rise to further development of the activity system. These seem, however, to be largest for travel feedback apps. Based on our exploration, we argue that quantitative research on the impact of apps should be complemented by qualitative research based on activity theory. In particular, activity theory may help to gain a better understanding of underlying mechanism by which apps influence travel, to strengthen the theoretical underpinning and interpretation of the results of quantitative research and to explore changes in the development and use of apps and their impact on travel behaviour.

The limited space for the road widening and an increasing number of vehicles leads to never ending congestion in the peak hours. However, the trip generation can be reduced or manipulated by targeting any essential activity such as grocery shopping (which has been carried out even in the strictest lockdown due to the covid-19 pandemic). In this study, a questionnaire survey is done and data of 434 respondents are analysed to see how the grocery shopping trip behaviour of the people residing in tier I cities of India is influenced by the chosen demographic variables and online grocery shopping. A linear model is formulated by multiple linear regression to forecast the number of grocery shopping trips, which is validated with the observed number of trips. The model reveals that purchasing groceries from online shopping do reduce the number of shopping trips generated and the same can be used by urban planners while sketching out the plans for transportation infrastructure
