Closer to the total? Long-distance travel of French mobile phone users
(2018)Travel Behaviour and SocietyAnalyzing long-distance travel demand has become increasingly relevant because the share of traffic induced by journeys related to remote activities which are not part of daily life is growing. In today’s mobile world, such journeys are responsible for almost 50 percent of all traffic. Traditionally, surveys have been used to gather data needed to analyze travel demand. Due to the high response burden and memory issues, respondents are ...Journal Article -
Mobility tools and use
(2018)Journal of Transport and Land UseIn much of Switzerland, public transport offers high levels of accessibility to workplaces and other places that make season tickets legitimate substitutes for a car. These similar patterns of accessibility provided by both modes result in high levels of correlation between the accessibility measures of both modes. This correlation almost always precludes a travel behavior analysis with several accessibility measures and cannot provide ...Journal Article -
A first look at bridging discrete choice modeling and agent-based microsimulation in MATSim
(2018)Procedia Computer ScienceThe agent-based transport simulation framework MATSim allows for the simulation of dynamic transport scenarios with agents, that adaptively make travel choices. Regarding mode choice, a heavily randomized process is used to date, which allows for very unrealistic mode decisions in the short run to arrive at consistent mode shares after a large number of iterations. The authors show that implementing a discrete mode choice model may ...Journal Article -
Decision making in an agent-based simulation of long-distance travel demand
(2018)Procedia Computer ScienceAnalysis of long-distance travel demand has become more relevant in recent times due to the growing share of traffic induced by journeys related to remote activities. Consequently, there is a need of reliable long-distance travel forecasting tools like agent-based simulations. This paper presents a target-based simulation that simulates long-distance travel behavior for a long period of time. It is shown how decisions are modelled in this ...Journal Article
