Abstract
At the outset of this research, two fields of transport research were in the ascendant. The
first reflected technological change, considering the growth of new information and communications
technologies and their impacts for transport systems and travel behaviour.
The second reflected social change, considering the growth in inequality and disadvantage
and the contribution of transport systems and travel behaviour to the same. This paper
investigates a potential link between the two, exploring the hypothesis that virtual mobility,
via the Internet, could provide a viable alternative to physical mobility in reducing
mobility-related social exclusion. The paper presents data from a longitudinal, panel-based
diary study. Results support the hypothesis that virtual mobility can provide a viable alternative
to physical mobility in reducing aspects of mobility-related exclusion, by providing
additional accessibility (virtual accessibility) without an increase in physical mobility. Furthermore,
there is no evidence in this research to support a link between physical mobility
and virtual mobility; and no evidence to suggest a negative effect of virtual mobility for
sociability.
