MULTINOMIAL LOGIT APPROACH FOR MULTIMODAL CHOICE OF WORK TRIPS

This paper reports the results of an explorative study on the possibility of using a multinomial logit model to replicate and predict multimodal choice for work trips in a Canadian urban context. Modal choice data from Toronto, where a multimodal choice situation exists in the line-haul portion of the work trip, are used to develop the model. The developed model is evaluated in terms of statistical criteria and reasonableness tests. It is further examined for its predictive ability by the results with the published ones in this area. The study shows that disaggregate models can provide reasonable results when used in forecasting the modal choice between various modes.
