I am developing an agent based model about citizen's decision making of daily mode choices which I have already 2 variables that affect the choice of people and I am looking for a new factor to evaluate its impact on mode choice.
I'd appreciate your answers
Hi,
It is kind of hard to answer this without more information about the model, but here are my thought
Mode of transport may be affected by:
information concerning traffic congestion or available parking
how late/early an individual is running
any requirement for multiple stops
transport of children
weather conditions
social/cultural or religious factors
comparative costs (time and money) of different modes.
Some of these factors will exclude or force a choice of mode, but others may merely change the relative attractiveness of the available options.
The next step is considering a model that deals with multimodal transport, suchbas driving to a parking facility and then taking a means of mass-transport such as a train or bus.
Hope these thought might be of use.
