“…In literature, there seems to be no real consensus on the impact of age on modal choice. Some studies found that older people tend to use public transport more often (Bhat, 1998;Cirillo and Axhausen, 2006;de Palma and Rochat, 2000), while others state that car use increases together with age (Nurul Habib et al, 2009;Renne, 2003, 2005;Kim and Ulfarsson, 2008). According to Schwanen et al (2001) it is not so much age, but rather car ownership that is determining for the modal choice for all age categories.…”

“…The composition of the household has an impact on the number of cars available as well as on the organizational skills of the household members. In general it is found in literature that as the size of a household increases, there is a higher probability of travelling by car (Cirillo and Axhausen, 2002;de Palma and Rochat, 2000). Especially the presence of children increases the utility of car use, which has a significant negative impact on public transport use in turn (Limtanakool et al, 2006;Cirillo and Axhausen, 2006).…”

“…Liu et al [7] investigated the Swedish mode choice behavior under different climate conditions. Palma and Rochat [8] analyzed mode choice for commuters in Geneva using Nested Logit Model and 2 Mathematical Problems in Engineering found out that car ownership is the key factor that influences mode choice behavior. Apparently, it can be concluded that those DCMs considered only objective/measurable attributes from the alternatives and socioeconomic characteristics of the individuals as explanatory variables.…”

Mode choice model for public transport, which integrates structural equation model (SEM) and discrete choice model (DCM) with categorized latent variables, was presented in this paper. Apart from identifying those important latent variables that affect mode choice for public transport, the objective of this study was also to develop an improved disaggregative model that better explains travel behavior of those decision-makers in choosing public transport. After extensive observations, selective latent variable sets which consist of latent variable components were chosen together with explicit variables in formulating the utility functions. Data collected in Chengdu city, China, were used to calibrate and validate the model. Results showed that the impact of fare on mode choice of public transport escalated in the SEM-DCM integrated model compared with the traditional logit model. The goodness of fit for the integrated model with latent variable sets is 0.201 higher than that of the traditional logit model, which proves that latent variables have an obvious impact on mode choice behavior, and the SEM-DCM integrated model has higher accuracy and stronger explanatory ability. The results are especially helpful for public transport operators to achieve higher mode share split by improving the service quality of public transport in terms of providing more convenience and better service environment for public transport users.

“…Modelos de posse de autos utilizando formulações logit e probit não ordenados foram desenvolvidos por diversos pesquisadores como Purvis (1996), Ryan e Han (1999), Palma e Rochat (2000) e Chu (2002). Entretanto, o que pode ser observado é que a formulação mais empregada no desenvolvimento de modelos de posse de autos é a logit multinomial, devido à facilidade de estimação dos parâmetros presentes no modelo e simplicidade com relação à sua estrutura, quando comparados com formulações mais elaboradas, como os modelos logit hierárquico e probit multinomial.…”

RESUMO: O objetivo deste trabalho é estudar o comportamento da posse de autos familiar na Região Metropolitana de São Paulo, buscando analisar a evolução ocorrida entre 1987 e 1997. Foi utilizado um modelo logit multinomial que considera variáveis sociodemográficas e econômicas que influenciam o comportamento das famílias: tamanho da família, número de trabalhadores, número de estudantes, presença ou não de crianças, sexo do chefe, idade do chefe e a renda familiar. Os resultados apontaram mudanças de comportamento ao longo do tempo com relação às variáveis envolvidas, verificando-se uma redução da importância dessas características familiares para explicar a posse de autos, destacando-se o efeito decrescente da renda ao longo do tempo. Esses resultados sugerem que vem crescendo a importância de outros fatores na decisão de posse de auto das famílias, provavelmente relacionados com o mercado de veículos e com políticas urbanas e de transportes.ABSTRACT: The objective of this work is to study family auto ownership behavior in the Metropolitan Area of São Paulo, by looking at its evolution during the period between 1987 and 1997. The analysis was based on the results of a multinomial logit model considering socio-demographic and economic attributes influencing family auto ownership: family size, number of workers, number of students, presence of children in the family, age and sex of the family head and family income. Results indicate significant behavioral changes with respect to the analysis variables during the period considered. In general, their importance as explanatory variables decreases from 1987 to 1997, including a decline in the influence of income on auto ownership behavior. These results suggest the growing importance of other factors on the auto ownership decision of families, probably related to car market characteristics and urban and transportation policies. INTRODUÇÃOO crescimento da motorização na Região Metropolitana de São Paulo -RMSP tornou-se intenso nas últimas décadas. As informações provenientes das pesquisas Origem-Destino realizadas indicam que o aumento no número de automóveis particulares foi significativo entre 1987 e 1997, enquanto o índice de mobilidade, medido através do número médio de viagens motorizadas da população, apresenta uma intrigante diminuição. Estes resultados confirmam em geral o comportamento que tem sido relatado na literatura sobre as cidades dos países em desenvolvimento, contrariamente ao observado em cidades de países desenvolvidos onde o crescimento da motorização está diminuindo, principalmente pela proximidade de níveis esperados de saturação (Dargay e Gately, 1999;Kitamura e Kostyniuk, 1986).O crescimento sistemático observado se deve provavelmente a mudanças no comportamento e nos hábitos das famílias e indivíduos com relação à posse de autos. Também são importantes as alterações na composição da população com relação a características sociodemográficas e econômicas como tamanho da família, renda, número de trabalhadores, presença de crianças etc., além d...
