Model of transportation mode choice between aircraft and high speed train of Jakarta-Surabaya route

Abstract

The increasing number of passengers from Jakarta to Surabaya each year will directly impact on the airport capacity in serving aviation traffic demand as it relates directly to flight frequency, runway capacity, terminal building capacity and others. The mode of Jakarta-Surabaya transportation for passengers is still focused on the mode of aircraft compared to other modes such as train. The imbalance between these modes of transportation indicates the need for other alternative modes to strengthen competitiveness in the improvement of service to passengers. This research was conducted to analyze the model of transportation mode selection between aircraft and high speed train of Jakarta-Surabaya route as an empirical case study, assuming the construction of high speed train infrastructure has been completed and ready to operate connecting Jakarta-Surabaya. This study offers the same travel time and fare between the aircraft and high speed train that reflects the special characteristics that become the passenger’s main choice. Stated Preference techniques and binomial logit model are used in this study as tools for data collection and processing. As a result, the most influential passenger characteristic in this study is the level of passenger income level.
