Research on Travel Behavior in Hazy Weather Based on Structural Equation Model

Abstract

Haze has great influence on human health and daily travel, so it is necessary to study the influence of hazy weather on people’s travel activities. Based on the questionnaire survey, the structural equation model was established to simulate the college students’ travel behavior in hazy weather with AMOS and SPSS software. The results show that the psychological status of travelers and their sensitivity to hazy weather are the key factors affecting the students’ travel. Therefore, hazy weather can lead to changes in travel behavior: the hazy weather had the greatest impact on travel time, followed by travel frequency, and the least impact on travel mode. This paper studies the influence of haze weather on college students’ travel behaviors, and proposes a rational understanding of haze, a pleasant mood to go out and a corresponding protective measure, and proposes different measures for the traffic management department in the haze weather. Traffic management measures, priority to ensure the recommendations of bus traffic; for the traffic management department, put forward the propaganda to increase the pros and cons of smog weather and road traffic conditions, and strengthen the traveler’s rational understanding of travel in smog weather.
