Accounting for variation in choice set size in Random Regret Minimization models

This paper derives a trick to account for variation in choice set size in Random Regret Minimization (RRM) models. In many choice situations the choice set size varies across choice observations. As in RRM models regret level differences increase with increasing choice set size, not accounting for variation in choice set size results in RRM...

Task Complexity and Time Pressure: Impacts on Activity-Travel Choices

Task complexity and time pressure may have impacts on travellers’ choices in the context of highly synchronised mobility networks. However, it is unclear at the moment how these two aspects should be properly modelled simultaneously and what these impacts of the two aspects really are on travellers’ choices. Consequently, this research aims to...

Determining shippers' attribute preference for container transport on the Rotterdam - Venlo corridor

Vacation Travel Behaviour in a Very Different Future

Peak oil, strong international climate policy, and many other unconventional changes which loom on the horizon may strongly change current vacation travel patterns. What changes in vacation travel behaviour can we expect and how can policy-makers prepare for them? This thesis takes the first steps to answer these questions. It develops and...

A Generalized Random Regret Minimization Model

This paper presents, discusses and tests a generalized Random Regret Minimization (G-RRM) model. The G-RRM model is created by replacing a fixed constant in the attribute-specific regret functions of the RRM model, by a regret-weight variable. Depending on the value of the regret-weights, the G-RRM model generates predictions that equal those of...

Patientvoorkeuren ziekenhuiskamers

Management Summary Background Due to demographic developments the Dutch healthcare market will grow as a whole. The Wmg has ensured that there will be more transparency in this healthcare market. Patients have more insight into the quality of treatments offered by various health care providers. Because of the introduction of integral performance...

Random regret minimization: Exploration of a new choice model for environmental and resource economics

This paper introduces the discrete choice model-paradigm of Random Regret Minimization (RRM) to the field of environmental and resource economics. The RRM-approach has been very recently developed in the context of travel demand modelling and presents a tractable, regret-based alternative to the dominant choice-modelling paradigm based on Random...

Communicating the retail brand through design: Case study sports shops

The retail brand communicated through design. To what extent contributes design to the distinctiveness, recognisability and attracktiveness of the retail brand. A research conducted using Discrete Choice Modelling, focusing on the interior of sports shops.

Designing Stated Choice Experiments: An Analysis of the Effect of Airport Location on Air Passenger's Travel Choice

Since major airports are reaching capacity, some solutions have to be found to solve the actual transportation problem. The government sees the development of secondary airports as a solution to this problem. First, this would result in air traffic diversion and secondly this would permit new economical opportunities to the concerned region....

What, Where, and Which? A Nested Logit Model for Dutch Housing Choice

In the Netherlands, changes on the housing market and overloading of the transport system require a policy that pays attention to both sides of the coin. To make projections of possible scenarios, under different policies, models are developed to study the transport system, the housing market and their interaction. To investigate residential...
