Abstract
In this paper, we investigated an optimal level of parking fee of P&R users by means of rank logit model. For this aim, we conducted a survey by which we can examine the characters of parks around suburban stations in the Sendai area and P&R user preference of those parks. Using data of this survey, we first built a rank model which describes the relation between parking fee and walking distance from station. Next, we built a binary logit model which estimates P&R users choice between parks according to parking characters. Combining these two models. We developed a graph which figures the complex effect of two parking characters on P&R users choice between parks. We verified the validity of our model through checking the actual state of parking contact was explained by our models.
