Abstract

With the increase of the aging of population, the activity-travel issue of elderly people has been getting more and more attention. Based on the survey and statistics results, this chapter study the elderly people’s activity-travel behavior, and introduce the structural equation model to analyze the relationship between the elderly people’s activities and travel behavior. The exogenous variables include the family structure, education levels, and economic status, while the endogenous variables contain the travel activity purpose, travel mode, and travel intensity; then we explored the regularity of elderly people’s activity and traveling features, and quantified the influence of different factors. This study can provide a reference for developing rational elderly people traffic policy.
