Problem 2 - Use of multi-nomial logit model for estimation of modal splitUse a logit model to determine the probabilities of a group of 5000 workcommuters choosing between three modes of travel during the morning peakhour, including Privite car, Bus and Light railIf 1450 commuters travel by bus, 950 commuters taking light rail, determine thetravel time of driving private cars (T).The utility functions for the three modes are estimated using the followingequations:Uc = 2.4 – 0.4C – 0.05 TUg = 1.4 – 0.4C – 0.05TULR= 0.4 – 0.4C– 0.05TwhereC = cost (£)T= travel time (minutes)For all workers:• The cost of driving is £6.00 with a travel time of T minutes• The bus fare is £2.50 with a travel time of 50 minutesThe rail fare is £2.80 with a travel time of 35 minutes.whereP = probability that mode m is chosenm' = index over all modes included in chosen set

Given, UC=2.4-0.4(6)-0.05T=-0.05T UB=1.4-0.4(2.5)-0.05(50)= -2.1 ULR=0.4-0.4(2.8)-0.05(35)= -3.47…

Vehicles arrive at the parking booth of SM City Tarlac at a rate of 250 vehicles per hour. If the attendant can process a vehicle in 12 seconds, determine the average length of the queue if both the arrivals and departures are exponentially distributed. Note: Answer must be whole number. No need to include the unit. (i.e. 2)
Determine the share (proportion) of person-trips by each of two modes (private auto and mass transit) using the multinomial logit model and given the following informa- tion: Utility function: U = A - 0.05 T – 0.04 T, – 0.03 T, –0.014 C Parameter Private Auto Mass Transit = access time (min.) T. T = waiting time (min.) T, = riding time (min.) C = out-of-pocket cost (cents) Calibration constant, A 14 20 25 %3D 50 70 250 100 -0.012 -0.068
A simple work-mode-choice model is estimated from data in a small urban area to determine the probabilities of individual travelers selecting various modes. The mode choices include automobile drive-alone (DL), automobile shared-ride (SR), and bus (B), and the utility functions are estimated as: UDL = 2.2-0.2(costp)-0.03(travel timepz) USR 0.8 – 0.2(costsR) – 0.03(travel timesR) Us = -0.2(costa)- 0.01(travel time,) where cost is in dollars and time is in minutes. Between a residential area and an industrial complex, 4000 workers (generating vehicle-based trips) depart for work during the peak hour. For all workers, the cost of driving an automobile is $6.00 with a travel time of 20 minutes, and the bus fare is $1.00 with a travel time of 25 minutes. If the shared-ride option always consists of two travelers sharing costs equally, how many workers will take each mode?
Given the following data: The route will use 40-seat standard buses The door opening and closing time is 4 seconds The boarding time is 3.5 seconds and 4.0 seconds for standing passengers The alighting time is 2 seconds Use the attached table to calculate the average dwell time of the bus at each of the 10 stations
A mode choice logit model is to be developed based on the following information. A surveyof travellers in an area with bus service found the following data:Model Parameter Auto BusX1, waiting time (min.) 0 10X2, travel time (min.) 20 35X3, parking time (min.) 5 0X4, out-of-pocket cost (cents) 225 100Ak, calibration constant _0.33 _0.27The following utility functions were calibrated based on an observed mode split of 84.9%private auto use and 15.1% bus use.Utility function: Uk = Ak -- 0.10 X1 - 0.13 X2 - 0.12 X3 - 0.0045 X4After implementing service improvements to the buses, the mode split changed to 81.6%private auto use and 18.4% bus use. Determine a value for the calibration constant for the busmode that reflects this shift in mode split.
Determine the share (proportion) of person-trips by each of two modes (private auto and mass transit) using the multinomial logit model and given the following information: Utility function: Uk = Ak – 0.07 Ta – 0.05 Tw – 0.04 Tr – 0.015 C
Three routes connect an origin and destination with performance function tj = aj + bjxj/cj (with t's in minutes and x's in thousands of vehicles per hour). If the total origin-to-destination hourly demand is 10,000 vehicles, what is a travel time in minutes (input answer in a form 00,00 minutes). Route 1 Route 2 Route 3 a 13 8 9 b 1.9 2.5 2.1 6. 8 7
hree routes connect an origin and a destination with performance functions: ?1=8+0.5?1; ?2=1+2?2; and ?3=3+0.75?3; with the x’s being the traffic volume expressed in thousands of vehicles per hour and t’s being the travel time expressed in minutes. If the peak hour traffic demand is 3400 vehicles, determine user equilibrium traffic flows. [Hint: Note that one of the paths will not be used under the equilibrium condition
