Modelling on Mode Choice Behavior of Rural Middle Class Residents – An Activity Based Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
Since the beginning of civilization, the viability and economic success of communities have been, to a major extent, determined by the efficiency of the transportation infrastructure. Travel demand models are used for this purpose. Mode choice behavior is a fundamental element of travel behavior. It is the demand for activities that produces the demand for travel. In other words the need or desire to engage in an activity at a different location generates a trip. So in this study activity based approach is used to analyze the mode choice behavior. The work is concentrated among the middle class rural residents. The data for the analysis is collected using household travel survey. The study area selected is a village area in Kerala, India. Multinomial logit model is adopted to analyze mode choice behavior. The total mode share includes walk, bicycle, auto rickshaw, twowheeler, car and bus in which two wheelers form the major share. The data is analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) to develop and validate the model. Keywords—Activity based approach, Mode choice, Multinomial logit model, SPSS.

This paper aims to introduce a new modelling approach that represents departure time, destination and travel mode choice under a unified framework. Through it, it is possible to overcome shortages of the traditional 4-step model associated with the lack of introducing actual travellers’ behaviours. This objective can be achieved through adopting discrete 3-level Nested Logit model that represen...
