A STUDY INTO ROUTE CHOICE BY USING A DISAGGREGATE LOGIT MODEL

ONDERZOEK NAAR ROUTEKEUZE MET BEHULP VAN EEN GEDISAGGEGEERD LOGITMODEL

This study is based on perceived routes used by car drivers. It analyses the factors which influence route choice. It proved to be impossible to estimate independently the influence of time and distance. Time, however, is an important factor when describing route behaviour. Finer specification on links and the use of nodes as explanatory variables in the model result in a better description of the behaviour. This approach enables a better link-up with stochastic assignment models. The procedure which is presented here, can be used for further development of research into rat-run traffic (fast traffic using secondary roads as by-pass routes) and the consequences of traffic management measures.
