Accounting for inertia in multimodal route choice behaviour: The case of a new metro line in Santiago

If people repeat choices in daily travel behaviour under stable conditions, over time this can form habitual travel behaviour and lead to inertia. If travellers face a new metro line, to what extent does their habitual travel behaviour affect their willingness to use this new transport alternative. This study investigate the inertia effects in a...

Perception of overlap in multi-modal urban transit route choice

Capturing unobserved correlation between overlapping routes is a non-trivial problem in route choice modelling. For urban transit networks, research so far has been inconclusive on how this overlap is perceived by travellers. We estimate a series of path size correction logit (PSCL) models to account for alternative specifications of route...

Crowding valuation in urban tram and bus transportation based on smart card data

Crowding in public transport can be of major influence on passengers’ travel experience and therefore affect route and mode choice. In this study, crowding valuation for urban tram and bus travelling is determined fully based on revealed preference data. Urban tram and bus crowding valuation is estimated in a European context based on a Dutch...
