USING A MULTINOMIAL LOGIT MODEL TO STUDY THE MODE CHOICE BEHAVIOR OF COMMUTERS IN FLANDERS ...

This paper demonstrates the possibility and the viability of combining new data resources with traditional surveys to estimate a mode choice model for work/school trips. These modelling tools are used to evaluate the effects of behaviour change. Its purpose is to examine the travel mode choice preference of commutes to work/school. The proposed model is tested using a travel survey conducted in the Flanders region in Belgium referred to as the Onderzoek Verplaatsingsgedrag 5 (OVG), which translates to research on travel behaviour. The objective is to analyse the correlation between mode choice... Mehr ...

This paper demonstrates the possibility and the viability of combining new data resources with traditional surveys to estimate a mode choice model for work/school trips. These modelling tools are used to evaluate the effects of behaviour change. Its purpose is to examine the travel mode choice preference of commutes to work/school. The proposed model is tested using a travel survey conducted in the Flanders region in Belgium referred to as the Onderzoek Verplaatsingsgedrag 5 (OVG), which translates to research on travel behaviour. The objective is to analyse the correlation between mode choice, mode characteristics and socio-economic attributes of individuals. These are computed using a multinomial logit model (MNL) through a utility function. After testing out the significance and correlation of over 50 mode-specific and individual-specific characteristics using the Biogeme package, travel time, education level, and income level were identified as the attributes with the highest utility in the model. The ...
