Title: | Analysis of the temporal characteristics of the elderly traveling by bus using smart card data | Authors: | Shi, ZC Pun, LSC Liu, XT Lai, JH Tong, CZ Zhang, AS Zhang, M Shi, WZ |
Issue Date: | Dec-2020 | Source: | ISPRS international journal of geo-information, Dec. 2020, v. 9, no. 12, 751 | Abstract: | Many cities around the world face the challenge of an aging population. A full understanding of the mobility behavior characteristics of the elderly is one necessary and urgent consideration as regards the current aging trend if sustainable urban development is to be fully realized. This paper presents a systematic approach to analyzing the dynamic mobility characteristics of the elderly who travel by bus using smart card big data. The characteristics include temporal distribution, travel distance, travel duration, travel frequency, and also the spatial distribution of such travelers. The findings of these mobility characteristics can directly contribute to both public transport policy making, service, and management. In this study, the analytics of the elderly are also compared with that of the average adult group so as to identify both the similarities and differences between the two groups. Beijing, a megacity, with a very high life expectancy and in which the bus is the dominant mode of public transport for the elderly, was used as the study area. The significance of this research concerns a newly developed systematic approach that is able to analyze the dynamic mobility characteristics of the elderly using smart card data. | Keywords: | Elderly mobility Public transport Smart card data Spatiotemporal analytics |
