Study of Impact of Various Influencing Factors on NMT Mode Choice

In the current study, the authors bring out the impact of various social, economic, environmental, and transportation system characteristics on walk and cycle mode choice, when they are used as a main mode. The environmental factors include density and land use. The impact is determined using a logistic regression model, developed from the household survey data of Bangalore city, collected for the year 2009. The results showed a reduced likeliness to walk and cycle, with an increase in travel time using walk and cycle, and individual age. Individuals owning at least a private motor vehicle had less probability of using walk and cycle compared with individuals not owning any private motor vehicle. Females had a more positive attitude towards walking than male. Mixed Land-use and increased density had a positive impact on walk and cycle mode use when compared with their reference group.
