A study of mode and destination choice model by using micro-scale GIS data

The purpose of this study is to show the applicability and limitations of micro-scale GIS data to estimate mode and destination choice models. First GIS database on activity points and transport network by modes are developed. Second, mode and destination choice models for shopping both in weekday and in weekend are estimated. In the model, point-to-point service levels of trips calculated by using micro-scale data are employeds. Parameters and vehicle km estimated by using micro-scale data are then compared with those estimated by using the zone system. Finally, we applied the model to the auto-use reduction scenarios in a local urbanized area. The results indicate that models estimated by using micro-scale data are useful for analyzing land use and service levels of modes more precisely.
