Mode Choice Methodology in TRANSIMS
… It is an integrated system of travel forecasting models designed to give transportation planners accurate, complete information on traffic impacts, congestion, and pollution by simulating second-by-second movements of every person and every vehicle through the transportation network of a large …

Mode Choice Modeling Using Artificial Neural Networks
… The primary goal of this thesis is to develop mode choice models using artificial neural networks and compare the results with traditional mode choice models like the multinomial logit model and linear regression method. The data used for this modeling is extracted from the American Travel …

The Effects of Pollution on Travel Mode Choice
… I analyze how air pollution affects travel mode decisions in China using a large and detailed hourly household-level data set on hourly household-level travel mode decisions in Beijing; and hourly air pollution, weather, wind speed, and wind direction in and around Beijing. I use machine …

The impact of fuel price volatility on transportation mode choice
… Specifically, we analyze the transportation mode choice decision between truckload and intermodal (truck combined with rail) transportation using a model to calculate the total relevant cost, consisting of transportation cost and inventory holding cost. We use input from the North American …

To drive, or not to drive: Mode choice in daily commute
Mode choice for daily commute refers to the process whereby commuters choose a travel mode for their daily trips to work. Despite its ordinary nature, it often involves a series of decisions and consideration of various factors and barriers. More research is needed to understand the various aspects …

Understanding travel mode choice: A new approach for city scale simulation
Understanding travel mode choice behaviour is key to effective management of transport networks, many of which are under increasing strain from rising travel demand. Conventional approaches to simulating mode choice typically make use of behavioural models either derived from stated preference …

Modeling Intercity Mode Choice and Airport Choice in the United States
… aim of this study was to develop a framework to model travel choice behavior in order to estimate intercity travel demand at nation-level in the United States. Nested and mixed logit models were developed to study national-level intercity transportation in the United States. A separate General …

Disaggregate Probabilistic Models to Predict Trip Generation Propensities and Mode Choice Behaviour
Travel behaviour models serve as important tools to understand what factors affect trip generation and preferred mode of travel in different contexts. These models can be used to quantify the impacts and assess the consequences of development plans and policy actions. Growing populations and the …

Intercity travel demand : a utility-consistent simultaneous trip generation and mode choice model
… such as when to travel, where to travel, which mode to choose, and others. The main focus of this dissertation is to examine trip frequency and mode choice of intercity non-business travel. The objective of this study is to understand intercity travel behavior using disaggregate models. The …

Modelling public transport mode choice for low-income residential suburbs in Harare, Zimbabwe
Modern-day life in developing urban cities is structured around the need to access goods and services outside the vicinity of residential areas, and transportation facilitates access to such services. Like many other African cities, most of the residents in Harare sorely rely on public transport, …

Incorporating unobservable heterogeneity in discrete choice model : mode choice model for shopping trips
… for incorporating attitudinal data in a choice model to capture unobservable heterogeneity across the population. The key features of this approach are, 1) the concept of latent attitudes, and the assumption that 2) the respondent's answers to psychometric attitudinal questions relating …

Impact of Real-Time Information and Road User Fees on Individuals Mode Choice Decision
… mileage-based user fee (MBUF) on individuals' mode choice behavior. It examines the interaction between MBUF and socio-demographic variables for different trip purposes. This research designs two separate web-based surveys. Each survey has revealed preference (RP) and stated preference (SP) …

Measuring Accessibility and Explaining Trends in Commute Mode Choice in Washington, D.C. from 1970 - 2000
… attempts to find a correlation between commuting modes in Washington DC and characteristics of the city and the people that they serve. It investigates why some census tracts have experienced increases in the commuting share of alternative transportation, such as public transit, walking, and …

The Dynamics of the Impacts of Automated Vehicles: Urban Form, Mode Choice, and Energy Demand Distribution
… variation with urban form, the heterogeneity of mode choice, and the impacts at disaggregated levels lead to the dynamics of the impacts of AVs, which not comprehensively understood yet. Therefore, this dissertation extends existing knowledge base by understanding the dynamics of the impacts from …

Estimating mode choice: A discrete choice analysis of a park and ride system for Florida road, Durban
… for private vehicle usage, with alternative modes such as public transport and non- motorised transport being largely neglected, and this is also true of Florida Road. Florida Road is located in Morningside, Durban, and has become an iconic landmark street known for its buzzing day and night …
