Abstract
A public transport (PT) trip is a multimodal trip by nature: always complemented by an access and egress leg, for example cycling or walking to the PT stop. Introduction of shared modes increases the available access- and egress- options and thereby the PT system as a whole is possibly improved. In order to investigate those effects an extension is made to the traditional PT assignment algorithm, resulting in a simultaneous process of selecting the access-mode, stop choice, line choice, and egress-mode. A key advantage of our approach is that choices for mode chains are made independent on personal characteristics. This enables us to easily add new access- and egress- modes by only adjusting associated travel time and costs. Simulations for a use case in Amsterdam show that this enables us to complement the PT system with shared bikes, which is not possible in current transport models.
