A JOINT HOUSEHOLD TRAVEL DISTANCE GENERATION AND CAR OWNERSHIP MODEL

It can be concluded that the dynamic interrelationships among income, car ownership level, and demand for four motorized modes, measured in terms of distances traveled per week, can be successfully modeled using a simultaneous equation structure. The dynamics are expressed in terms of panel survey measurements of the six variables at two points in time one year apart. Incomes and car ownership levels at the two time periods are measured in terms of ordered categories and treated in the structural equations as ordered probit response variables; the four modal distance variables are treated in terms of censored continuous variables (censored at zero) subject to tobit transformations.
