Abstract:

Focusing on car tourists’ 1-day tours, a new scheduling model combines a nested paired combinatorial logit (NPCL) type of destination and route choice model and a time allocation (TA) model. The NPCL model, developed previously from the generalized extreme value family of discrete choice models to represent the similarity between pairs of alternatives in the same choice nest as well as the influence of inclusive value, indicates destination choice in the bottom level and route choice in the top level. The TA model applies Becker’s theory to determine the time allocated to each touring site. Utility of destination choice is influenced by the time spent at each site. Different route choices result in a level of service for the road network that varies hourly, varying available time used in the TA model. The TA model endogenously incorporates the influence of hourly variance in level of service at the site of interest, which is affected by the allocated time. An iteration estimation procedure is proposed to estimate the parameters consistently in both models. Finally, revealed preference tourist travel survey data collected in a tourist attraction region near the Sea of Japan indicate that the proposed scheduling model is effective in representing car tourists’ scheduling behavior for 1-day tours.
