Abstract

In this paper, we present an analysis of the impact of perceptions on transport mode choice. Traditional revealed preference surveys very often only involve questions leading to the collection of quantitative data, discrete or continuous, but little attention is given to qualitative data. In the survey on which this research is based, such data appears as adjectives describing a series of transport modes, freely reported by respondents. The calibration of an integrated choice and latent variable model has shown that travelers' perception of comfort in public transports has a significant impact on their mode preferences. Moreover the prediction of individuals' choices by such model is much more accurate than by a logit model with multiple alternatives.

Discrete choice

In economics, discrete choice models, or qualitative choice models, describe, explain, and predict choices between two or more discrete alternatives, such as entering or not entering the labor market, or choosing between modes of transport. Such choices contrast with standard consumption models in which the quantity of each good consumed is assumed to be a continuous variable. In the continuous case, calculus methods (e.g. first-order conditions) can be used to determine the optimum amount chosen, and demand can be modeled empirically using regression analysis.

Public transport

Public transport (also known as public transportation, public transit, mass transit, or simply transit) is a system of transport for passengers by group travel systems available for use by the general public unlike private transport, typically managed on a schedule, operated on established routes, and that charge a posted fee for each trip. There is no rigid definition of which kinds of transport are included, and air travel is often not thought of when discussing public transport—dictionaries use wording like "buses, trains, etc.

Transport

Transport (in British English) or transportation (in American English) is the intentional movement of humans, animals, and goods from one location to another. Modes of transport include air, land (rail and road), water, cable, pipelines, and space. The field can be divided into infrastructure, vehicles, and operations. Transport enables human trade, which is essential for the development of civilizations.
