Impact of Integrated Multimodal Traveler Information on Auto Commuter’s Mode Switching Propensity

The Open Transportation Journal 28 Feb 2017 RESEARCH ARTICLE DOI: 10.2174/1874447801711010020

Abstract

Aim:

Real-time traveler information affects auto commuter’s travel behavior.

Method:

An ordered probit model is used to analyze auto commuter’s mode switching propensity under influence of simulated real-time multimodal traveler information. A travel preference survey is administered to car drivers to gather individual commuter’s travel decisions under integrated multimodal traveler information.

Result:

It is shown that integrated multimodal traveler information can influence willingness of car drivers to switch mode of travel, while socio-economic characteristics also influence the mode choice decision.

Keywords: Integrated traveler information, Multi-modal transportation, Mode switching propensity, Probit model, Preference survey.
