Exploring the Positive Utility of Travel and Mode Choice by Patrick Allen Singleton A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Civil and Environmental Engineering Dissertation Committee: Kelly J. Clifton, Chair Jennifer Dill Liming Wang Cynthia D. Mohr Portland State University 2017 © 2017 Patrick Allen Singleton Abstract Why do people travel? Underlying most travel behavior research is the derived- demand paradigm of travel analysis, which assumes that travel demand is derived from the demand for spatially separated activities, traveling is a means to an end (reaching destinations), and travel time is a disutility to be minimized. In contrast, the “positive utility of travel” (PUT) concept suggests that travel may not be inherently disliked and could instead provide benefits or be motivated by desires for travel-based multitasking, positive emotions, or fulfillment. -

How Urban Form Characteristics at Both Trip Ends Influence Mode
sustainability Article How Urban Form Characteristics at Both Trip Ends Influence Mode Choice: Evidence from TOD vs. Non-TOD Zones of the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area Arefeh Nasri 1,* and Lei Zhang 2 1 National Center for Smart Growth Research and Education, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742, USA 2 Maryland Transportation Institute, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 27 March 2019; Accepted: 14 June 2019; Published: 20 June 2019 Abstract: Understanding travel behavior and its relationship with built environment is crucial for sustainable transportation and land-use policy-making. This study provides additional insights into the linkage between the built environment and travel mode choice by looking at the built environment characteristics at both the trip origin and destination in the context of transit-oriented development (TOD). The objective of this research is to provide a better understanding of how travel mode choice is influenced by the built environment surrounding both trip end locations. Specifically, it investigates the effect of transit-oriented development policy and the way it affects people’s mode choice decisions. This is accomplished by developing discrete choice models and consideration of urban form characteristics at both trip ends. Our findings not only confirmed the important role the built environment plays in influencing mode choice, but also highlighted the influence of policies, such as TOD, at both trip end locations. Results suggest that the probability of choosing transit and non-motorized modes is higher for trips originating and ending in TOD areas. However, the magnitude of this TOD effect is larger at trip origin compared to destination. -
Calibration of Nested-Logit Mode-Choice Models for Florida
Final Report Calibration of Nested-Logit Mode-Choice Models for Florida By Mohamed Abdel-Aty, Ph.D., PE Associate Professor and Hassan Abdelwahab Ph.D. Candidate Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering University of Central Florida P.O.Box 162450 Orlando, Florida 32816-2450 Phone : 407 823-5657 Fax : 407 823-3315 Email : [email protected] November 2001 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report describes the development of mode choice models for Florida. Data from the 1999 travel survey conducted in Southeast Florida were used in the calibration of the models. The calibration also involved the travels times and costs of the highway and transit systems obtained from the skim files of the southeast model. The mode choice model was estimated as a three- level nested logit structure. There were three separate trip purposes calibrated. These purposes were: home based work trips (HBW), home based non-work trips (HBNW), and non home-based trips (NHB). Two separate surveys were used in the estimation process. The first is the on-board transit survey, and the second is the household survey. The portion of the nesting structure that include the different transit alternatives (the transit branch) was estimated using the on-board transit data, while the upper nest that include the choice of transit versus highway used the household travel data. This approach was used because of the very small percentage of transit trips in the household survey, and to avoid enriching the household sample, which would lead to the necessity of adjusting the coefficient estimates. The two models were linked through the use of the inclusive value of transit. -

Mode Choice Modeling Using Artificial Neural Networks by Praveen
Mode Choice Modeling Using Artificial Neural Networks by Praveen Kumar Edara Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Civil Engineering Dušan Teodorović, Chair John Collura Antonio Trani October 2003 Falls Church, Virginia Key words: Mode choice, Neural networks, Multinomial logit, Linear regression, Clustering, American travel survey database Mode Choice Modeling Using Artificial Neural Networks Praveen Edara ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence techniques have produced excellent results in many diverse fields of engineering. Techniques such as neural networks and fuzzy systems have found their way into transportation engineering. In recent years, neural networks are being used instead of regression techniques for travel demand forecasting purposes. The basic reason lies in the fact that neural networks are able to capture complex relationships and learn from examples and also able to adapt when new data become available. The primary goal of this thesis is to develop mode choice models using artificial neural networks and compare the results with traditional mode choice models like the multinomial logit model and linear regression method. The data used for this modeling is extracted from the American Travel Survey data. Data mining procedures like clustering are used to process the extracted data. The results of three models are compared based on residuals and error criteria. It is found that neural network approach produces the best results for the chosen set of explanatory variables. The possible reasons for such results are identified and explained to the extent possible. The three major objectives of this thesis are to: present an approach to handle the data from a survey database, address the mode choice problem using artificial neural networks, and compare the results of this approach with the results of traditional models vis-à-vis logit model and linear regression approach. -
