Research on Commuter's Choice Behavior between Travel Mode and Trip Chain

Open publisher page 9 citations

Abstract

Based on the analysis of data drawn from the 2005 Beijing Household Travel Survey,a Nested Logit model was applied to construct the interdependent model between commuters' trip chain and travel model choices.The model structures in the direction from travel mode to trip chain and in the opposite direction were set up.Then,the models were calibrated with help of STATA 9.0 statistic software,and the structure of the Nested Logit model was identified by using inclusive value parameter.The result shows that the relationship between travel mode and trip chain choices is not unidirectional but bidirectional.The decision-making from trip chain to travel mode is relatively reasonable,reflecting that commuters are adept to think about the daily activity at first and then to choose an appropriate travel mode under the constraints of trip chain.
