Résumé
This paper experiments a data fusion methodology for enhancing the understanding of the impacts of urban form on travel behaviour. As a contribution to the measurement of such implications, we propose some findings from an empirical study of the interactions between settlement dynamics and travel behaviours in the Greater Montreal Area. For this purpose, data from the last three Origin-Destination Surveys (1987, 1993 and 1998) are coherently merged to dwellings and socio-demographics data from the last three Canadian Censuses (1986, 1991 and 1996). Every spatially located household is associated to an enumeration area, allowing the introduction of census attributes such as dwelling type or construction period in the travel behaviour study. Therewith, it is possible to measure the travel behaviour dynamics of households and individuals residing in particular dwellings. Contextual evolution (in the last 10 years) as well as settlement waves evolution (since 1945) of travel behaviours can be observed. |
