Abstract
In a big city, the congestion state in peak hour is very heavy. But in case of commuter's train, its congestion cost is not evaluated sufficiently. In order to promote to supply infrastracture of good quality, it's very important to investigate the method of evaluating congestion cost. In this paper, the model of passenger's behavior in selecting boarding points, including their-congestion avoiding behavior is made, and congestion disutility function is newly proposed. And an actual survey is made at commuter's station in which congestion avoiding behavior is observed. Using the result of the survey, the form and the parameters of congestion disutility function is estimated. And upon the investigation of relationship between the parameters of the function and boading time, the quantity of congestion cost is considered.
