Abstract

In an increasingly complex and fast-paced world, understanding healthcare-related travel behavior has become a critical challenge in transportation planning. Traditional models, including the Four-Step Transportation Model (FSTM), require further refinements to better capture evolving travel patterns, particularly the growing share of home-based other trips, which include shopping, leisure, and healthcare-related journeys. Among these, healthcare trips require special attention due to the increasing proportion of the aging population and the essential nature of medical accessibility.
