Abstract
Several travel studies focus mainly on mode shifting. Again, most travel studies have focused on mandatory trips. But the influence of land use on travel is rarely verified in all these studies. This paper examines the influence of land use measures on travel in a medium-sized city, India. The travel characteristics like number of trips, person-km and person-hr of travel by various modes and for various purposes are analysed separately. Land use is characterised by population density, employment density, land use intensity, land use mix and accessibility. During the modelling process, the explanatory variables are subjected to transformation to get over the nonlinearity issue. Statistical analysis reveals that a balanced mix of various land use activities causes people to travel less by any mode and for any purpose. Such studies can help the city planners formulate effective transport policies to improve the quality of transport within the city.
