Science mapping of transit oriented development (TOD), typology and travel demand research

Abstract

Transit Oriented Development is a concept that is used as a tool to plan a compact area. Despite the growing interest in TOD research, there has yet to be a comprehensive review of the knowledge structure, research hotspots, and emerging trends regarding TOD research. This study tries to fill this gap based on data from Scopus, which is visualized with VosViewer, which will get trends and hotspots in TOD. The main objective of this study is to synthesize a collection of literature on TOD, typology, and travel demand, examine publication trends and topic patterns around TOD and travel demand, and visualize the interrelationships between authors, topics, sources, and geography. The results showed a significant increase in TOD research publication, with most articles published in the United States and China. The most productive authors are Cervero, Ewing, and Bertolini. Four hotspots of the frontier are determined by analysing the keywords of development-oriented model, typology, travel demand, and travel behaviour.
