Daniel McFadden

Open publisher page 156 citations

Abstract

This resource paper is intended to give a historical account of the development of the methodology of disaggregate behavioral travel demand analysis and its connection to random utility maximization (RUM). It reviews the early development of the subject, and major methodological innovations over the past three decades in choice theory, data collection, and statistical tools. It concludes by identifying some topics and issues that deserve more work, and fearlessly forecasting the future course of research in the field.
