An Empirical Evidence of Mode Choice Structure for the Journey to Work

Abstract

The choice of urban transport has been estimated by the sequential method in conventional transport study, while the simultaneous method is now broadly employed for the disaggregate mode choice problem. This study was to identify which approach is more suitable in the disaggregate level using the data of work journey in Bingo metropolitan area. As a result, the sequential (NL model) was empirically proved to be superior to the simultaneous (MNL model) in terms of estimation accuracy, while the latter was shown more practical within the context of application.
