Trip chaining patterns in Bangkok: Based on household travel survey

This paper analyzed trip chaining in Bangkok from a home interview survey, compiled and organized as a part of Urban Transport Database and Model development project. The travel data were rearranged into trip chains. Trip chaining patterns were investigated. Analyses revealed various trip chaining characteristics. Trip chaining in Bangkok is noticeably different from other cities in Europe and North America. Trip chains are in detail examined in relation to various attributes, including trip type, purpose of travel, mode use, gender, temporal as well as spatial variables. The paper examines how travelers in Bangkok chain their destinations and the relationship between trip chaining and traveler and trip attributes.
