PSYCHOLOGICAL DETERMINANTS OF USER BEHAVIOUR

The purpose of this report is to bring together details of current problems, and the most recent research results in the field of transport users' behaviour, and to make a critical assessment of developments in research into modal split. Particular attention is given to the degree of credibility attributed to psychological approaches in investigation, and to the stage in the analytical process at which application of psychological methods is most beneficial. The research described leads up to an illustrative model of modal split, which in turn, presents possibilities of quantifying the effects of measures on modal choice. /TRRL/
