Abstract
Information Display Board is used to design an experimental survey and dynamic decision process data are retrieved under a multimode choice scenario with car, bus and subway, and park and ride. It is concluded that car travelers who will switch to choosing park and ride need more decision time to compare it with the existing modes (car, bus and subway) and tend to mainly use compensatory decision strategies in the decision process. The most commonly used decision strategy for travelers is the combined strategy under the multimode choice scenario. Correlation analysis shows that the influencing factors of age, whether the travelers have ever used park and ride, and decision time highly correlate with decision strategy choice. These conclusions have a certain reference value for theory research of decision process under multimode choice.
Highlights
With the increasing traffic congestion in many big cities, governments have given more priority to the development of public transport system
As a car and public transit united travel mode, park and ride can attract more private car travelers to transfer to using public transit such as railway and bus rapid transit into the city center area, alleviating traffic congestion in the city center area
The results show that people driving under congestion have an increasing use of noncompensatory decision strategy
Summary
With the increasing traffic congestion in many big cities, governments have given more priority to the development of public transport system. Using analysis method of decision process, this paper will conduct a deep study of multimode choice process. These include the comprehensive consideration and tradeoff of various factors in the decision process, measurement index of decision strategies and decision strategy choice for different travelers. These analyses will help to grasp the decision mechanism under multimode choice and to provide the basis for the formulation of traffic demand management policy
