Low-income commuters have distinct activity-travel characteristics from non-low-income commuters. This study examines low-income commuters' activity-travel pattern for a better understanding the mechanism of activity participation and travel behaviour based on the travel survey data collected in Nanjing, China. Structural equations modelling (SEM) methodology was adopted to estimate the complex relationships among socio-demographics, accessibility, activity participation, trip generation and mode choice. Results show that strong relationships do exist among socio-demographics, activity engagement and travel behavior. Specifically, we can understand travel behaviour better by including activity participation endogenously in the model. Furthermore, it allows us to better forecast how increasing any one type of activity will affect demand for other activities, as well as trip generation and mode choice. Lastly, the results reveal the effects of accessibility variables on activity participation and travel behaviour in which population density measure has more ubiquitous effects. Findings in this study might provide insightful policy implications for improving the travel environment of the low-income commuters.
