However, lack of detailed measurements that define the fulfillment, or the degree of accomplishment, of transportation system equity and resilience still exist. This thesis aims to explore equity and resilience of transportation network though modeling travel behavior.To better understand how transportation equity is reflected in terms of average trip distance and number of trips for each household with auto and non-auto modes, K-means cluster analysis is applied to classify all census tracts into different clusters based on their socio-characteristics. To achieve the research objective, an Ordinary Least Square model is applied to analyze the travel behavior’s correlation with transportation equity and transportation resilience by using data from the OKI Survey, OKI traffic crash database, and the 2010 US Census.The result shows that families with low household income or living in less privileged environments would travel shorter distance on average with a smaller number of auto trips (although no significant finding for cluster indicator regarding number of journeys), and tend to take more trips using non-auto transportation modes such as public transit, bicycling, or walking. Also, the higher the accident density, the longer the average auto trip distance, and the fewer the trips. Such result indicates transportation equity and transportation resilience are not very well fulfilled within the OKI region. 2019-07-09 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1554212469614412 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1554212469614412 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
