| Abstract | This research aims to study the factors affecting elder's transportation mode selection by considering 4 transportation types including bicycle or motorcycle, car and public transportation (which includes bus, taxi, and public motorcycle) in accordance with common transportation types in Thailand. The methodology used for analysis was a multinomial logistic regression of which independent variable was nominal scale and using a car to be the base model compared to the elderly people's change of transportation mode for result interpretation. The study results concluded the common characteristics of aging mobility that travel frequency is less than once a week, travel time is the morning, and most of activities is shopping. The private car transportation should be improved for the convenience. In addition, motorcycle and bike lanes should be developed for serving aging people due to their less income, and travel time use which is less than 30 minutes. Furthermore, public transportation should be also enhanced to accommodate their travel activities such as going to the hospital, and shopping. |
