Analysis of Commuter Modal Choice Decisions in Boston, Massachusetts
… identify the key variables influencing commuter modal choices in peak periods and (2) determine their relative importance based on an analysis of a case study of commuters in Boston, Massachusetts. This study provides a step in the direction of developing an understanding of behaviour ultimately …

Freight transport modal choice in North West England's Atlantic Gateway
… with the failure of attempts to balance modal split the road network’s continuing slide towards breaking point seems to be beyond question. However, circumstances have conspired to present one particular region of England with a tabula rasa for the development of new policies to influence …

The determinants of modal choice of urban travel: a case study
… study is to measure the factors which determine modal choice. Of special interest are those factors which would improve the level and quality of service of public transit. If it is shown that demand for public transit is responsive to the quality of service characteristics, it would indicate that …

Rationality or irrationality of preferences? A quantitative test of intransitive decision heuristics
… tests show that the distance-based models with modal choice and the mixture models for all of the decision heuristics explain the participants' data fairly well for all stimulus sets. The frequentist analysis generates little evidence against transitivity. Model selection using Bayes factors …

Linking land use and transportation : measuring the impact of neighborhood-scale spatial patterns on travel behavior
… travel behavior such as trip-linking and mode choice. Studies indicate that the geographic distribution of jobs and population is far more crucial than population growth alone in creating dramatic changes in travel in individual locations. Land use initiatives represent a potentially effective …
