Finally, we propose six research directions for the travel behaviour change field: multiple research methods identify effective intervention components locally contextualised research further segmentation research longer-term studies and trip avoidance research. Information dissemination strategies are the main tools trialled, including personalised travel plans, websites and apps. Notably absent is trip avoidance research. The main target behaviours are private motor vehicle use, bicycling and public transport. The content analysis of recent research (n = 17 articles) supported previous findings that travel behaviour change interventions can result in changing behaviour.
The review identified that the field has a long history and has grown significantly since 2011. The scientometric component of the review analysed the bibliographic data of 323 academic records. In addition, a content analysis was conducted to identify current research trends and gaps in the field and develop a future research agenda. This study conducted a scientometric review of travel behaviour change literature, identifying the main characteristics, key journals, research categories, keywords, authors, institutions, countries and cited references. Consequently, a wide-angled review is critical for synthesising knowledge in this field. Travel behaviour change is a growing field of research, with a range of theories, behaviours and tools being studied. A travel behaviour change approach complements hard transport measures to develop more sustainable transport systems.
