, time for a particle to travel through a medium - Interaural time differenceInteraural time differenceThe interaural time difference when concerning humans or animals, is the difference in arrival time of a sound between two ears. It is important in the localisation of sounds, as it provides a cue to the direction or angle of the sound source from the head. If a signal arrives at the head from one...

The questions studied in travel behavior are broad, and are very much related to activity analysis and time use research studies.* How many trips do people make?...

In Japan, the standard measure for walking distance is 80 metres = one minute walking time. This is the standard used in real estate listings, for example, if a building is 10 minute walk...
