Application of discrete choice models for mode and destination choice in a large scale demand model

Abstract

An approach for modeling in-depth destination and mode choice is to deploy discrete choice models. Large scale transportation demand models usually are macroscopic, thus using aggregated demand data. In the new transportation model for the federal state of Upper Austria discrete choice models for the mode and destination choice have been implemented. Considering the special characteristics when applying individual choices on person groups, the model results nevertheless show a good fitness to empirical values.
