The Norwegian Public Roads Administration has commissioned the Institute of Transport Economics to conduct a literature study with the objective of providing an overview of psychological theories relevant for understanding use of public transportation and a description of studies of psychological factors influencing transport mode choice. Search for relevant studies was conducted in the databases Transport and PsycINFO, on the homepages of Scandinavian transport research institutions, and in the library database of TOI. The search resulted in 85 articles in international scientific journals and 34 research reports. Due to the projects financial constraints this report had to be limited to empirical studies with a strong theoretical foundation. After reading all the literature obtained through the search empirical studies from 21 scientific articles were chosen to be included in the report. The report also covers two studies presented at scientific conferences, which were included because they support the findings from two of the chosen articles. |
