Abstract

Developing countries are recently suffering from severe transport problems due to intense vehicle ownership and usage. Therefore, investigation of travel behavior is found as an important issue. In this study, a Nested Logit (NL) model is developed considering vehicle ownership, mode choice and trip chaining aspects for household traveling. Developed NL model has two levels where the upper level consists of vehicle ownership choices and the lower level represents the mode choice combinations for two-traveler households. Model is analyzed using Revealed Preference (RP) and Stated Preference (SP) data since combined RP/SP is an effective method to express complex travel behavior and to forecast travel demand for new transport services. Proposed model is verified using the data from Bangkok Metropolitan Region (BMR).
