Empirically Approaching Destination Choice Set Formation
The discrete choice modeling framework plays a dominant role in travel demand modeling. It is particularly suitable for choices with a compact choice set, such as mode choices. However, for spatial choices such as route or destination choices, which are in general characterized by a large number of alternatives, the choice set formation step poses crucial and to date unsolved methodological and empirical problems. In this paper, steps towards solving these important problems are introduced. The core of this paper is a publicly available Web-based survey tool that enables an empirical approach to destination choice set formation and that also has potential use in collaborative efforts. A detailed analysis of the problems associated with destination choice set formation and first approaches for model estimation are included.
