Nested logit models for mixed-mode travel in urban corridors
Abstract The nested logit (NL) model is a generalisation of the well-known multinomial logit (MNL) model which copes with its “independence from irrelevant alternatives” problem, at the expense of more difficult calibration and use. Mixed-mode movements (i.e. park-and-ride) are by nature not independent of competing single-mode options and have, therefore, traditionally been inadequately modelled in most empirical applications. This paper reports on the specification, estimation, testing and comparison of MNL and NL models using disaggregate data of work trips in an urban corridor, where choice was among several alternatives including mixed-mode options. It was found that the more general NL model was more adequate, not only in theory but in practice. The paper concludes by comparing the disaggregate NL model with previously calibrated aggregate NL models for the same corridor using a different data set.
