Mode choice modeling for long-distance travel

摘要: Investments for improving long-distance travel infrastructure are substantial and may have significant impacts on demand, the environment, economy, therefore, deserve careful analysis before implementation. A new nested multinomial logit mode choice model is presented that sensitive to costs, distance, transit station accessibility, service frequency, number of transfers, parking costs. On auto side, considers modes drive-alone shared-ride with 2–4 or more passengers. The side models regional bus, rail, air as modal options. Special attention was given choice, nearest not provide best connectivity a trip. Parameters used in this were carefully compared those published literature ensure reasonability results. To explore sensitivities, scenarios increased gasoline prices improved bus presented.
