A review of travel behavioural pattern using GPS dataset: A systematic literature review

Abstract

In the last few years, the Global positioning system (GPS) has been used to study travel patterns with the advancement of data collection techniques. A GPS device precisely records the time and the location data of an individual travel. The accuracy of travel studies is usually improved by integrating travel surveys or travel activity diaries with GPS data. GPS surveys are implemented to replace paper-based techniques and reduce human error on trip-misreporting issues. Several reviews have been performed previously on GPS travel studies. Still, a detailed systematic review on the comparison of different modes and methods on the entire procedure of GPS data processing has not been thoroughly studied. This review identified 116 peer-reviewed studies and journal papers from 2013 to 2020, and 53 papers were studied. The review focused on travel behavior pattern (TBP) analysis using GPS studies only and a combination of travel surveys. Our review reveals that 53 only 40 have quality assessment scores of >50 %, meaning the remaining TBP studies are conventional methods. The study also benefits data analysis and researchers to select the most appropriate data collection techniques for studying TBP and improvise them further for meta-analysis travel behavior studies.
