LOW-BUDGET MODAL SPLIT ANALYSIS

The paper describes the data collection and calibration of A generalised cost modal-split model carried out at very low cost. The model was based upon assumptions about the value of time and relative disutilities of time components derived from other work. Both a straight line and logistic curve model formulations were fitted to the data and, over the range of values considered in the analysis, both gave very similar results. The use of the model to assess alternative pricing policies for car parking and bus fares, and the resulting recommendations on the relative price and supply of central and fringe public car parking space, are also described.
