Travel Mode Choice ================== Description ----------- The data, collected as part of a 1987 intercity mode choice study, are a sub-sample of 210 non-business trips between Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne in which the traveler chooses a mode from four alternatives (plane, car, bus and train). The sample, 840 observations, is choice based with over-sampling of the less popular modes (plane, train and bus) and under-sampling of the more popular mode, car. The level of service data was derived from highway and transport networks in Sydney, Melbourne, non-metropolitan N.S.W. and Victoria, including the Australian Capital Territory. Notes ----- :: Number of observations: 840 Observations On 4 Modes for 210 Individuals. Number of variables: 8 Variable name definitions:: individual = 1 to 210 mode = 1 - air 2 - train 3 - bus 4 - car choice = 0 - no 1 - yes ttme = terminal waiting time for plane, train and bus (minutes); 0 for car. invc = in vehicle cost for all stages (dollars). invt = travel time (in-vehicle time) for all stages (minutes). gc = generalized cost measure:invc+(invt*value of travel time savings) (dollars). hinc = household income ($1000s). psize = traveling group size in mode chosen (number).
