Title: Modelling mode and route choices on public transport systems
Abstract: Travel demand models typically use only objective modal attributes as explanatory variables. Nevertheless, it has been well known for many years that attitudes and perceptions also influence users’ behaviour. The use of hybrid discrete choice models constitutes a good alternative to incorporate the effect of subjective factors through the construction of latent variables. This study applies the hybrid approach to a real urban case study, quantifying the improvements in explanatory capability and analysing the advantages of considering latent variables. Our results show that hybrid models are clearly superior to traditional models that ignore the effect of subjective attitudes and perceptions.
