Title: Destination Choice Modeling for Home-Based Noncommute Trips: Some Improvements in Utility Function and Case Study in China
Accession Number: 01128819
Record Type: Component
Availability: Transportation Research Board Business Office 500 Fifth Street, NW Abstract: In this study, the authors discussed the advantages of using behavior based travel impedance at disaggregate level and gravity factors in destination choice for non-commute trips, and empirically demonstrate how these variables improve the destination choice model. The authors found that 1) the time impedance based on individual behavior is a determinant of destination choice for non-commute trips. Travelers prefer closer locations to where they live; 2) the gravity factors (including zone size and trip length) have a significant impact on destination choice behavior. The zones with high gravity are more likely to be chosen as the destinations. The Zone Size, has a positive impact on destination choice while the distance lowers the utility of destination choice and has a negative impact on destination choice; 3) people with higher income travels farther; 4) younger people travels farther.
