With the accelerated process of urbanization and traffic development, especially the urban rail transit system's great improvement, Park-and-Ride provides an effective mode for trips between suburbs and downtown. In this research, online and field survey is carried out on the use of Park-and-Ride facilities. Analyses are conducted on personal attributes containing gender, age, and income; the travel characteristics such as driving time during departing from origin to parking lot, parking duration, transfer mode, transfer walking time and waiting time, and transfer times; Park-and-Ride users' intentions concerned walking time, waiting time, and time looking for parking space; and reasons for Park-and-Ride trip mode not be chosen. On the basis of decomposition for travel procedures, impedance models for different trip modes including public transport, private car, and Park-and-Ride are built and then the multinomial logit model for choice probability of trip modes and Park-and-Ride demand model is established. After further analysis on the survey data, calibrations and tests for the impedance models above are performed. Finally, a case is shown to demonstrate application of the proposed model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
