Year: 2014
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: The objective of this study is to analyse the travel pattern of students in the Engineering Campus of Universiti Sains Malaysia, by using a 7-day travel diary survey. After screening the data obtained, 98 of the 100 responses received were processed and analysed. The results show that there were major differences in travel patterns between weekdays and weekends in terms of activities, trip generation, modal split, travel distance, travel time and cost. These differences were found to be contributed by the factors such as gender and motorized vehicle ownership. In conclusion, the travel demand behaviour of the students was better understood through the study of travel patterns, as well as the intra and interpersonal variability of the students. This information is particularly important for the establishment of better infrastructures, transport planning strategies, and policies for the sustainability of the campus.
