Trip Chaining of Bicycle and Car Commuters: An Empirical Analysis of Detours to Secondary Activities
Source: Transportmetrica A Transport Science
Studies how much cyclists extend trip chaining distances compared to car travelers to include a secondary activity. Based on data from the Netherlands Mobility Panel, the model results propose that people make on average detours of 7.4 km (4.6 mi) by car and 1.3 km (0.81 mi) by bicycle. These values strongly differ depending on the type and duration of the secondary activity, gender, the distance from home to work.
