A DISAGGREGATE MODELLING STUDY OF MODAL CHOICE FOR THE JOURNEY TO WORK
A disaggregate modal choice modelling investigation of travel to work at the Atomic Energy Research Establishment, Harwell, is reported. Its aim was to establish quantitatively factors affecting volume of car pooling and works bus use at the site. Models were calibrated from data provided by non-industrial (non-manual) staff both with and without cars available for their journeys. The generality of these models was subsequently checked by predictive application to other data sets for industrial (manual) workers. Subsequently the models were used to investigate the effect of various changes, such as petrol price and works bus fare increases, on modal split. Implications of the findings together with some more general aspects of disaggregate modal choice modelling are discussed. (Author/TRRL)
