Mode and Mode Destination Models Sample Clauses

Mode and Mode Destination Models. The mode is determined using a hierarchy similar to Siyu (2015): public transit, car passenger, driving alone, biking and bike-sharing, and walking. Rare modes, such as boat, airplane, etc., were excluded. For modelling tours and sub-tours, trip chains are simplified by eliminating "change of transport mode" stops, and a primary mode is assigned for each trip using the specified hierarchy. In Mode and Mode and Destination choice models, walk and bike availability are determined based on the maximum walking and biking distances observed in the TU: 7 km and 22 km, respectively. Biking is available only for individuals whose households own at least one bike, and driving alone is available only for individuals with a driver's license and at least one car in their household. Public transit availability is sourced from the VD skim matrices, while car passenger is assumed to be available to all individuals.
