Having such services available, elderly and disabled people have a unique mode choice decision that is not available for typical travelers: the choice between public ...

In order to be able to advance scientific knowledge, researchers should consciously explore and critically evaluate alternative explanations of the phenomena under investigation. We feel that research in the area of entry mode choice has neglected these recommendations where it concerns the impact of cultural distance (CD) on entry mode choice. In this article, we argue that sample idiosyncrasi...

Most traditional mode choice models are based on the principle of random utility maximization derived from econometric theory. Alternatively, mode choice modeling can be regarded as a pattern recognition problem reflected from the explanatory variables of determining the choices between alternatives. The paper applies the knowledge discovery technique of rough sets theory to model travel mode c...
