Proposals of AHP-Type of Disaggregate Logit Model and Improved AHP Model in Modal Choice

Abstract:

This paper aims at constructing an improved model of modal choice by the use of both of AHP model and disaggregate logit model. Firstly, using AHP structure model, the importance of various factors in modal choice is investigated, and relevant choosing consciousness is scored. Secondly, a disaggregate logit model for modal choice with AHP scores and physical factors is proposed. Thirdly, weights of items in AHP model for modal choice are reversibly estimated by the use of the proposed AHP-type of disaggregate logit model. Direct AHP model, AHP-type of disaggregate logit model and improved AHP model are also compared each other.
