A Mode Choice Model for a Public Transport Transfer Center in Istanbul

Abstract

The aim of this study is to understand the reasons behind the mode choice preferences of passengers using a public transport transfer center. For this aim, a questionnaire data obtained at an interim transfer center in Istanbul is utilized. This interim center hosts stops for paratransit, bus and metro modes. A multinomial logit model of modal preferences is estimated and the coefficient results of this model are used to analyze and compare modes.

Elderly Sustainable Mobility: Scientific Paper Review

“…It is used to predict a nominal dependent variable given one or more independent variables. Several researchers have used MNL models to establish mode choice preference [100][101][102][103][104][105][106][107][108], including the relationship between car ownership and elderly mode choice [109]. The MNL model is sometimes considered an extension of binomial logistic regression.…”
