Abstract

When modelling the choice of making multi-modal trips, many travel demand models lack flexibility in the specification of modes and consistency in the choice process. This causes problems in modelling the usage of the complex public transport systems of large urban areas. In this abstract, we apply the supernetwork approach to develop a route set generation procedure and multi-modal route choice model that are flexible and consistent. This new model is tested in an Île-de-France case study.
