Discrete choice analysis for trip timing decisions of morning commuters – estimations from joint SP/RP-GPS data (original) (raw)

2011

Abstract

The modeling of individuals' departure time choices has gained increasingly interest over the past few decades. Understanding drivers' preferences for different departure times not only has important implications for policy evaluation (e.g., road pricing, peak spreading), but the resulting parameters obtained from the discrete choice model can also be used as key inputs for traffic demand models. There is a long tradition of estimating departure time choice models using SP data, due to the scarcity of good quality RP data. In the more recent literature there are an increasing number of studies that combine both types of data. While these studies focused more on the econometric issues of joint SP-RP estimation, less attention has been paid on the data issue, particularly the quality control of the RP observations and the comparability of choice situations between SP and RP data. In the current study, we used the data collected from Dutch ‘Spitsmijden' project, which invo...
