Some Considerations about Mode Choice Model
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper discusses the representability of discrete logit-type models including multinomial logit and nested logit model from a mathematical approach. It is shown that the logit-type models can be reconstructed from mathematical approximation theory with sigmoidal functions widely used in Neural Network modeling without the basic assumptions such as IIA and iid, and the distribution (or density) function of the unobserved portion of utility. This explains mathematically why logit-type models can approximate the choice probability function to some accuracy. It is hoped that this may suggest the way to improve the accuracy in model specification for logit type models.

A Direct Demand Model of Departure Time and Mode for Intercity Passenger Trips
Travel demand is well announced as a crucial component of transportation planning. This paper aims to develop a direct demand model, denoting a more acceptable abstraction of reality, for intercity passengers in daily work and leisure trips in Tehran province. The model utilizes combined estimation across the data source, collected in 2011, of travelers originating from ...

The modal split model is one of the steps of the classical four-step travel demand planning. Predictive, descriptive, and prescriptive modal split models are essential to make a balance between travel demand and supply. To calibrate these models, it is necessary to detect and employ influential independent variables that are related to characteristics of travel modes, individual and family attr...
متن کاملModelling Departure Time, Destination and Travel Mode Choices by Using Generalized Nested Logit Model: Discretionary Trips (Research Note)
Despite traditional four-step model is the most prominent model in majority of travel demand analysis, it does not represent the potential correlations within different travel dimensions. As a result, some researches have suggested the use of choice modelling instead. However, most of them have represented travel dimensions individually rather than jointly. This research aims to fill this gap t...

In this paper the design of a new high-speed current mode BiCMOS logic circuits isproposed. By altering the threshold detector circuit of the conventional current mode logic circuitsand applying the multiple value logic (MVL) approach the number of transistors in basic logicoperators are significantly reduced and hence a reduction of chip area and power dissipation as wellas an increase in spee...
