This book brings together conceptual and empirical insights to explore the interconnections between social networks based on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and travel behaviour in urban environments. Over the past decade, rapid development of ICT has led to extensive social impacts and influence on travel and mobility patterns within urban spaces. A new field of research of digital social networks and travel behaviour is now emerging. This book presents state-of-the-art knowledge, cutting-edge research and integrated analysis methods from the fields of social networks, travel behaviour and urban analysis. It explores the challenges related to the question of how we can synchronize among social networks activities, transport means, intelligent communication/information technologies and the urban form. This innovative book encourages multidisciplinary insights and fusion among three disciplines of social networks, travel behaviour and urban analysis. It offers new horizons for research and will be of interest to students and scholars studying mobilities, transport studies, urban geography, urban planning, the built environment and urban policy.

In aiming to understand and model peoples’ out-of-home movements, the academic field of transport planning is confronted with two major challenges. Firstly, leisure travel is increasing in importance and is more complex and variable than work-related travel, being less rigid in temporal and spatial patterns and more influenced by external factors such as social contacts or weather conditions. Secondly, traditional aggregated transport models do not include any information on peoples’ social interactions or their personal social networks. In contrast, the recent development and availability of disaggregated models allows more detailed modelling of elements such as individual characteristics, motivations, constraints and travel costs, as well as a consideration of influences from an actor’s social environment. People travel not only within an infrastructure but also within a social structure. These two main factors have driven transport planners to focus on peoples’ interaction and their social network. In recent years there have been a remarkable number of data collection efforts in the field, surveying information on the link between travel behaviour and social motivation. Providing an overview of selected exemplary studies, this volume addresses the overlap between transport planning and methods of social network analysis; applied methods of social network analysis and related empirical results; and current challenges and new research questions in this field.

The research presented here explores the role of social networks in transportation mode choice. Social networks serve as a foundation for multiple social processes, such as cooperation, resource sharing and social influence. The focus of this study is social influence, whereby the knowledge, behaviors and/or opinions of one individual affect those of another. Through an online survey of students at the University of California, Davis, I collected information about students' transportation decisions for campus travel and their social networks. For each participant as an ego, I gathered information about their ego-network including up to five alters or contacts. The ego-networks, representing a subset of the social network of each respondent, were analyzed for similarities in transportation mode choice. Each respondent's mode choice was also compared to the mode use of geographic neighbors. Individuals tend to make transportation choices similar to both those to whom they are socially connected and those with whom they share geographic proximity. The first paper in this study presents evidence that although similarities in transportation mode choice occur both for socially connected individuals as well as geographic neighbors, social and neighborhood effects are not the same. To account for the possibility that similar commute characteristics simultaneously affect socially connected individuals, in the second paper presented here, I use an instrumental variables approach and find evidence of social influence even when accounting for the commute characteristics of both the alters and ego in ego-networks. In the third paper, I demonstrate that social influence does not affect all individuals equally; in particular social influence related to biking has a smaller effect on those with longer or very short commute distances. This study improves our understanding of social influences in travel behavior and the results may inform sustainable transportation programs and policies.
