This paper reviews the use of conceptual frameworks in research on active travel, such as walking and cycling. Generic framework features and a wide range of contents are identified and synthesized into a comprehensive framework of active travel behavior, as part of the Physical Activity through Sustainable Transport Approaches project (PASTA). PASTA is a European multinational, interdisciplinary research project on active travel and health.
Along with an exponential growth in active travel research, a growing number of conceptual frameworks has been published since the early 2000s. Earlier frameworks are simpler and emphasize the distinction of environmental vs. individual factors, while more recently several studies have integrated travel behavior theories more thoroughly. Based on the reviewed frameworks and various behavioral theories, we propose the comprehensive PASTA conceptual framework of active travel behavior. We discuss how it can guide future research, such as data collection, data analysis, and modeling of active travel behavior, and present some examples from the PASTA project.
本文综述了在积极出行（如步行和骑行）研究中使用概念框架的情况。通用框架特征和广泛的内容被确定并综合为积极出行行为的综合框架，这是通过可持续交通方法促进身体活动项目（PASTA）的一部分。PASTA 是一个关于积极出行和健康的欧洲多国、跨学科研究项目。
自 21 世纪初以来，随着积极出行研究的指数级增长，越来越多的概念框架被发表。早期的框架比较简单，强调环境因素与个人因素的区别，而最近的一些研究更深入地整合了出行行为理论。基于综述的框架和各种行为理论，我们提出了积极出行行为的综合 PASTA 概念框架。我们讨论了它如何指导未来的研究，例如积极出行行为的数据收集、数据分析和建模，并展示了 PASTA 项目中的一些例子。
