This paper investigates which factors determine the intention to take a night train, emphasizing the role of environmental concern, within a Theory of Planned Behavior framework. We built a survey based on an elicitation study, which resulted in an online survey being conducted on a convenience sample in Vienna (Austria). Employing Structural Equation Modelling, we find that positive attitudes towards characteristics of night trains, particularly getting sleep, arriving and departing from the city center, and arriving in the morning, are associated with taking a night train. On the other hand, high perceived costs, long travel times, personal security, and sharing cabins act as perceived barriers to night train intention formation. The last two barriers depend on the sex of the respondent, with women being more negatively influenced by a perceived lack of security and sharing spaces. Our results show that environmental concern and familiarity with night train services play a significant role in the formation of the intention to take a night train.

环境问题和夜行列车使用的决定因素：来自维也纳（奥地利）的证据

本文研究了哪些因素决定了乘坐夜间火车的意图，并在计划行为理论框架内强调了环境问题的作用。我们根据启发研究开展了一项调查，最终在维也纳（奥地利）对便利样本进行了在线调查。采用结构方程模型，我们发现对夜间火车特征的积极态度，特别是睡眠、到达和离开市中心以及早上到达，与乘坐夜间火车有关。另一方面，高感知成本、长旅行时间、人身安全和共享车厢则成为夜间乘车意图形成的感知障碍。最后两个障碍取决于受访者的性别，女性更容易因缺乏安全感和共享空间而受到负面影响。我们的研究结果表明，对环境的关注和对夜行列车服务的熟悉程度在乘坐夜行列车意图的形成中发挥着重要作用。
