Background

 Public transit such as LRT and Flexible bus is

regarded one of the alternatives for EST projects, which improves the access and egress conditions to public transit.

 Centroid of TAZ is used as the origin and

destination in conventional mode choice models

Location information of trip is not precise enough

Objective Effective use of large-scale person trip data to investigate the effects of access condition to the station and bus stop by

 Combine information to get precise location

 Develop a model to overcome the

impreciseness

Our approach: egress

 Trip to governmental office, hospital and school

can be identified by information on destination type

 Multiple governmental offices are not located

together, and usually, one zone contain at most

  • ne governmental office

 The same thing applies hospital and school

 Note: trips to small clinics might be included as noise

 Precise location and access to station and bus

stop is calculated by using GIS data

Our approach: access

 About home-based trip, it is impossible to

identify the house, origin of the trip

 Census data provide distribution of

residents of specific age/sex within survey zone

 Access length is treated as probabilistic

variable in estimating the mode choice model

Calculation of choice probability

Access =240m Probability of living this city block e.g.)20 yrs. Male →3.3% 40 yrs. Male →7.7% Smaller city block

slide-18
SLIDE 18

2006/08/17 18 IATBR2006

Calculation of choice probability

 Q(j): Probability of living in city block j

 Calculated by census and treated as known

 P(i| j): Probability of choosing mode i given that

he lives in city block j

 Precise access information is used as explanatory

variable

 P(i): Marginal probability of choosing mode i is

calculated by P(i| j)Q(j)

 Unknown parameters to be estimated are only

utility function, which is indifferent among Q(j)

Effects of preciseness of egress info. (zone system is used for access)

GIS based egress has

 Better log-likelihood  Larger coefficient estimates in absolute value

  • 1.7 (-4.2)

Lower level

  • Sta. egress
  • 2.8 (-18.9)

Comparison between access & egress

Use of bus: access to bus stop from home is dominant

Terminal mode for train: egress has larger effect than access

Conclusion

 Efficient use of conventional person trip data is

proposed, and confirmed by empirical analysis

 Rail ridership can be increased by locating

closer to station, but move from 3 km to 2 km doesn’t mean anything

 Egress from station is more important than

access to station
