The traffic during student arrival and dismissal from school every weekday is very congestion and dangerous, as this period student face more risk whatever what mode them using to travel to and from school. The traveling behavior of student is very different and complicated for the traveling behavior of adults, because there are many factors and limitations that affect them. Cause the government does not always pay much attention to the related problems in school travel. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research on the school travel behavior of student. In this research, we can realize personal socioeconomic and latent trait effect school travel behavior of elementary, junior, and senior high school students. Owing to logistics regression can’t direct measure personal latent trait, so the Rasch model, in this study, is applied to measure personal latent trait.
The study results indicate that family factor affect the travel behavior of elementary, junior, senior high school students, and personal factor affect the school travel behavior of junior, senior high school students. The phenomenon represents the school travel behavior of non adult students was influenced by parents, as age grows up personal characteristics begins to influence their travel behavior. Therefore, the government will promote policy about school travel in the future needs to consider the factors of parents, in order to increase the performance of executing the related policy. In addition, sex, having elder brothers and residences are affected the age of student the first time went to school on foot and on bicycle. The probability of students who live in Taipei metropolis occured the first time went to school alone on foot is more than other meterpolis, whereas the probability of students who live in Kaohsiung metropolis occured the first time went to school alone on bicycle is more than other meterpolis. The result of this study is not only to find out the characteristics of school travel, but also it provides the correlative education department and transportation department with lots of information investigateing or to promoting related policy. |
