DISAGGREGATE MODE CHOICE MODELS FOR INTERCITY PASSENGER TRAVEL IN CANADA
Disaggregate mode choice models were calibrated for intercity passenger travel in Canada using a data base drawn from the Canadian Travel Survey. Multinomial logit models were calibrated for business and nonbusiness trips in the eastern and the western regions of Canada. The calibrated models produced reliable results in terms of goodness-of-fit measures. The likelihood ratio index, rho squared (c), varied from 0.282 to 0.436. Results obtained were comparable to those of previous studies. The research identified the significance of level-of-service factors in determining mode choice. The findings from the study indicated that the Canadian Travel Survey data could be used for developing disaggregate models for possible use in policy impact analysis. The potential for the use of this data base in the transportation planning process could be enhanced if some relatively minor modifications were made.
