TLDR
In this paper, the authors reviewed three issues: the nature of older people's interaction with the transport system by gender; older people’s attitude to travel; and the involvement of older persons as road traffic casualties.About:

Applying a random forest method approach to model travel mode choice behavior
Long Cheng,Long Cheng,Xuewu Chen,Jonas De Vos,Xinjun Lai,Frank Witlox,Frank Witlox,Frank Witlox +7 more
TL;DR: A robust random forest method is proposed to analyze travel mode choices for examining the prediction capability and model interpretability of people’s travel behavior and results show that the random Forest method performs significantly better in travel mode choice prediction for higher accuracy and less computation cost.

Elderly travel frequencies and transport mode choices in Greater Rotterdam, the Netherlands
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of socio-demographic, health, trip, spatial and weather attributes on elderly mobility were analyzed by means of zero-inflated negative binomial models as well as multinomial logit regression models.

Active travel for active ageing in China: The role of built environment
Long Cheng,Long Cheng,Xuewu Chen,Shuo Yang,Zhan Cao,Jonas De Vos,Frank Witlox,Frank Witlox,Frank Witlox +8 more
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors explored the influences of built environment on daily active travel frequency and time expenditure while taking into account travel attitudes, and found that the living pattern of co-residence, and the proximity to market, park/square, and chess/card room are influential in shaping active travel patterns.

Determinants of CO2 emissions from household daily travel in Beijing, China: Individual travel characteristic perspectives
Zhaohua Wang,Wei Liu +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the features and driving factors of CO 2 emissions from household daily travel in Beijing from 2000 to 2012, and then discussed the effects of population, economic activity, transport capacity, vehicle emission intensity, and individual travel characteristic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Older People's Mobility: Segments, Factors, Trends
TL;DR: A theoretical model is proposed on how the different determinants work together to form the four mobility patterns related to the identified segments and what should be done to support the multi-optional and independent mobility of older people.

Characteristics of traffic crashes among young, middle-aged, and older drivers.
Gerald McGwin,David Brown +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the youngest and the oldest drivers were more likely to be considered at-fault, and it was concluded that the primary problem with the young is risk-taking and lack of skill.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mobility of older people and their quality of life
TL;DR: In this article, it is argued that it would be attractive to develop an operational concept of mobility, to allow the measurement of a group of benefits associated with individual movement which extend beyond those normally taken into account in travel and transport economics and modelling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quality of life for the elderly: the transport dimension
David Banister,Ann Bowling +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that both the active and passive elements need to be brought together so that the quality of life for the elderly can be better understood.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sustainability and automobility among the elderly: An international assessment
TL;DR: In the next three decades there will be a huge increase in both the absolute number of older people and in their percentage of the population in almost all Western European countries, North America, and Australia as mentioned in this paper.
