Inferring modality styles by revealing mode choice heterogeneity in response to weather conditions

To inform policies aimed at more sustainable travel behaviour, previous research has investigated the concept of multimodality. The notion underlying this line is that increasing degree multimodality will lead to less car dependence and therefore behaviour. This paper investigates by inferring modality styles revealing their response exogenous variation in form weather. main idea travellers with a multimodal style are sensitive variation, they likely resort use when ‘car-favouring’ conditions present themselves. results show effects weather on mode choices do indeed differ between three styles. identified can be summarised as (1) bike + car; (2) mostly (3) multimodal. For third class, which highest multimodality, modes strongly affected compared first, multimodal, class. least second class meanwhile change conditions. More thus seem susceptible might prevent formation habits or patterns. Based these results, claim higher behaviour policy makers should aim realise shift towards needs nuanced. Policy instead focus directly attractiveness modes, inadvertently
