Abstract

Mode choice is influenced by quantitative aspects such as cost and time, but importance should be given to qualitative aspects such as people's attitudes or perceptions towards the different modes as well. These latent characteristics can be integrated into a discrete choice model. In this presentation, we will investigate the effect of attitudes against public transports, environmental concerns or travelers' images of the transportation modes on the travelers' mode choice.

Mode of transport

Mode of transport is a term used to distinguish between different ways of transportation or transporting people or goods. The different modes of transport are air, water, and land transport, which includes rails or railways, road and off-road transport. Other modes of transport also exist, including pipelines, cable transport, and space transport. Human-powered transport and animal-powered transport are sometimes regarded as their own mode, but never fall into the other categories.

Environmental issues

Environmental issues are disruptions in the usual function of ecosystems. Further, these issues can be caused by humans (human impact on the environment) or they can be natural. These issues are considered serious when the ecosystem cannot recover in the present situation, and catastrophic if the ecosystem is projected to certainly collapse. Environmental protection is the practice of protecting the natural environment on the individual, organizational or governmental levels, for the benefit of both the environment and humans.
