Intra-urban journeys and activity linkages

Data from a travel diary study of Watford residents are used to examine the linkages between successive stages of multi-stage journeys. The linkage patterns in the journeys made each day by housewives and by other adults are described. A simple model of the number of stages to which journeys are extended is presented. The numbers of journeys made each week by various population sub-groups are also described. Some implications for planning and transport prediction are discussed.
