Simultaneous demand model for passenger travel - A case study Indonesia

Considering the condition of Indonesia's transportation systems and the socioeconomic fluctuations, it is necessary to incorporate regional socio-economic parameters into transport policy formulation which can take into account various uncertainties in the future. Therefore, this research proposes applicable models which are relatively flexible and simple to use to estimate inter provincial passenger travel demand in Indonesia and to overcome the variation of available modes between province pairs, and inter-mode competition. The resulted models is utilizing simultaneous demand models approach, in which socio economic variables, regional conditions, and existing transport systems are simultaneously included and the calibration process is only conducted in a single step.
