Discrete choice models, like the multinomial logit (MNL), have long been recognized for their ability to capture a wide array of transport-related choice phenomena. However, a number of choices are continuous response variables (e.g., location choice, departure time choice, activity duration, and vehicle usage). In this paper, the continuous cross-nested logit (CCNL) model is introduced. The CC...

Logit kernel is a discrete choice model that has both probit-like disturbances as well as an additive i.i.d. extreme value (or Gumbel) disturbance à la multinomial logit. The result is an intuitive, practical, and powerful model that combines the flexibility of probit with the tractability of logit. For this reason, logit kernel has been deemed the “model of the future” and is becoming extremel...

Elimination by aspects (EBA) is a random utility model that is considered to represent the choice process used by consumers more faithfully than logit and probit models. One limitation of the model is that it does not have a known error theory. We show that EBA can be derived by assuming that aspects have random utilities with independent, extreme value distributions. Multinomial logit and rank...

Road traffic crash is a cause of unnatural death and occupies fifth position in the world as per WHO records. Road crashes in India are alarming in situation while road safety is professionally lacking and politically missing. Hyderabad city, the capital of newly formed Telangana State occupies sixth position in occurrence of road crashes. An attempt is made to understan...
