DEMAND AND CHOICE OF MODAL SPLIT

THE AUTHOR'S MODEL IS BINARY CHOICE IN THE TWO-MODE CASE. HE ANALYZES STUDIES BY OTHER AUTHORS AND COMPARES HIS OWN RESULTS ON SAN FRANCISCO DATA, AND FINDS BROAD AGREEMENT. ALL MODELS HAVE EMPLOYED THE TRIP AS THE VARIABLE OF INTEREST. TWO MECHANICALLY DISTINCT APPROACHES HAVE EMERGED. ONE IS TO USE AGGREGATES OF TRIPS BETWEEN TWO ZONES AS THE QUANTITY OF TRIPS DEMANDED. THIS ENTITY IS SPECIFIED AS A FUNCTION OF THE OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS AND TRAVEL TIMES BY EACH MODE AND SONE AVERAGE ZONAL VALUES OF SOME SOCIO-ECONOMIC VARIABLES. THE OTHER APPROACH USES INDIVIDUAL TRIP DATA, SO THAT THE QUANTITY IS ALWAYS ZERO OR UNITY FOR A MODE, ACCORDING TO WHETHER OR NOT IT IS CHOSEN. THIS MODEL IS BINARY CHOICE IN THE TWO-MODE CASE; THE CHOICE DEPENDS ON THE INDIVIDUAL VALUES OF TIMES AND COSTS BY MODE AND ON THE CHARACTERISTICS OF PEOPLE WHO TAKE THE TRIPS. /AUTHOR/
