Abstract:

Little is known on visitor route choices at mass-events. This paper presents two empirical studies, Stated Preference (SP) and Revealed Preference (RP), to analyze the route choice behavior of pedestrians,mass-events SP data is collected by an online survey. In this survey 177 respondents each selected routes, based on two photo options per choice set. Multi Nominal Logit choice model estimations showed significant (attracting)values in the route choice attributes reflecting the presence of attractions, little crowdedness, wide roads, water and no trees. In the RP study 134 revealed trips were analyzed at SAIL Amsterdam 2015 (worlds’ largest free nautical-event), by the distribution of global positioning system (GPS)-trackers at the mass-event SAIL. Presence of attractions, crowdedness, signs and water seemed to be important (attracting) factors for selecting a route. However, especially when returning to the train station, these attributes seem to have little influence on the behavior. Overall, crowdedness had the highest attracting influence, contrary to the SP study where crowdedness was repellent. The perception of crowdedness is not expected to be equal in both studies:the photos in the SP experiments were perceived as very crowded, while this was not experienced at SAIL. It could be argued that the impact of crowdedness is not linear: up to a certain extent crowdedness is experienced as pleasant. However, this changes when the perceived crowdedness becomes too high. Besides, it is expected that crowdedness can only to a limited extent be realistically portrayed in surveys. A combined model might use the best of both methods,and enables to fully understand pedestrian behavior at mass-events.
