Travel demand models

• So-called four step models• Trip generation• Trip distribution• Modal split• Assignment

• Land-use?

Definition and notation

• Trip matrix• Generalized cost of travel• Value of time

Definition and notations

Transit terminology• In-vehicle time• Access and egress time• Waiting time

Singly and doubly constrained models

(OW 5.3-5.4)

Example nested logit

Nested logit, remember theRed bus - Blue bus ?

3 destinations

The nested logit modelKnown as the hierarchical logit (HL) in the book OW
