A topological route choice model for metro

摘要: This article presents a route choice model for public transit networks that incorporates variables related to network topology, complementing those found in traditional models based on service levels (travel time, cost, transfers, etc.) and users’ socioeconomic demographic characteristics (income level, trip purpose, etc.). The topological represent concepts such as the directness of chosen user knowledge network. For both these factors, necessary data is endogenous modelling process can be quantified without need information-gathering beyond what normally required building models. Other novel proposed formulation capture notions comfort vehicle occupancy rates certain physical stations. We conclude new significantly improve explanatory predictive ability existing specifications.
