Résumé
Home-based work trips account for a significant amount of metropolitan area transportation problems. The phenomenon is ambivalent: at the same time, they manifest economic development (employment) and induce most of the congestion costs on the urban transportation network.
From an object-oriented processing approach applied to the two last large scale telephone-interviewed household surveys conducted in the Montreal metropolitan area in 1987 and 1993, the study looks at different perspectives linking workers residences, job locations and transportation network characteristics.
Comparative analyses of census data on demographics and spatially-referenced mobility are considering several phenomena: continuous urban sprawl for population and employment, household size reduction, temporal evolution of car ownership and women participation to workforce, continuous increase in average commuting distance, evolution of car occupancy and car usage according to residence-job distance, travel behavior of double income household with and without children. |
