4 March 2013 - 2 Congestion Charging

1) The document discusses modeling mode choice using congestion charging to evaluate the perceived and actual costs of private car travel versus light rail transit (LRT) in congested situations. 2) It describes collecting data on travel costs, congestion costs, travel times, headways, and walking times to formulate a utility function to model individuals' stated preferences between cars and LRT. 3) An attribute combination survey was designed to collect responses from individuals on their likelihood of choosing car or LRT given different travel cost, time, and other attribute levels, which would be used to estimate the utility function and model mode choice probabilities.
