Research on Nonlinear Associations and Interactions for Short-Distance Travel Mode Choice of Car Users

Table 5

Interactions between travel distance and other determinants.

VariableInteraction results
0 km < travel distance < 2 km2 km < travel distance < 4 km

Trip purposeCommuters rely more on cars for travel
Road density2.5–7.5 km/km2 is more suitable for the development of cycling
Intersection densityMore than 10 can reduce the probability of car trips and promote cycling
Travel costPreference for cycling within 10 RMB
Car useWhen families use more, they cycle
OccupationRetirees/other occupations are more likely to cyclingDaily commuters have a stronger need for car travel
