INCORPORATING ATTRIBUTE THRESHOLDS INTO MODE CHOICE MODELS

The concept of thresholds has been mentioned in the transport choice literature, but few studies of mode choice have attempted to incorporate them into a modelling context. In this paper the concept of minimally perceived attribute differences is introduced into mode choice models. For estimating the parameters of the model, maximum likelihood is employed and an experimental test is carried out on a sample of people making trips to Melbourne CBD. The model is compared with a more traditional logit model with a linear additive measure of utility. (Author/TRRL)
