In many spatial analysis contexts, the variable of interest is discrete and there is spatial clustering of observations. This paper formulates a model that accommodates clustering along more than one dimension in the context of a discrete response variable. For example, in a travel mode choice context, individuals are clustered by both the home zone in which they live as well as by their work l...

A commuter’s mode choice decision in response to provided traveller information is directly dependent on the temporal and spatial interactions between the available travel modes, the network performance and control schemes, and the supplied traveller information. A self-developed simulation model – Intelligent Network Simulation Model (INSIM) – was employed to simulate travel scenarios in a mul...

Attribute-specific mode choice models predict the distribution of traffic among the various modes available, on the basis of some attributes. We consider the effect on valuation of one important attribute of mode choice, namely the travel time, for a population of commuters, when wireless internet access (wi-fi) is provided on trains. We use activity demand models to derive certain parameters o...

Understanding travel behavior is critical for an effective urban planning as well as for enabling various context-aware service provisions to support mobility as a service (MaaS). Both applications rely on the sensor traces generated by travellers' smartphones. These traces can be used to interpret travel modes, both for generating automated travel diaries as well as for real-time travel mode d...

People who travel to the same university workplace by bicycle, bus, car, and walking were compared in a survey (N=1609). Data are presented on environmental worldviews, journey affective appraisals, and habit strength. Unexpectedly, findings showed comparable levels of environmental worldview across modes. This might reflect the role of attitudes on behaviour, or question the validity of the es...

The COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in adopting massively social distancing measures to tame the human-to-human transmission of new coronavirus and protect public health. These intervention policies have caused changes travel behavior, thereby expressing a need update profiles factors associated with mode choice. To respond this research gap part, current study aims model children’s decisions fo...
