STATED PREFERENCE RESEARCH INTO ROUTE CHOICE BEHAVIOUR; A NEW COMBINATION

STATED PREFERENCE ONDERZOEK NAAR ROUTEKEUZEGEDRAG EEN NIEUWE COMBINATIE

The revealed preference analysis of route choice behaviour suffers from a number of problems that mainly stem from the necessity to use observations of real-world route choices. These problems are partly of a statistical and partly of a data-economical kind. A stated preference analysis uses behavioural intentions, these are stated preferences with respect to hypothetical choice situations, that mostly are created in a laboratory-kind fashion. Many of the problems mentioned before are then absent. This paper describes an exploration into the usefulness and performance of stated preference techniques for analyzing bicyclists route choice behaviour. To this end various stimulus presentation techniques as well as response measurement techniques are tried out and their relative success are gauged. The analysis results are very plausible and stable; they indicate the value of the stated preference approach as a complementary tool to real-world observations.
