“…Nested MNL uses multiple dimensions of choices to be evaluated [55]. Multinomial probit (MNP) model is less used but has been used in rare occasions due to computational demands that make parameter estimation difficult [56]. As an alternative to MNL, dynamic programming with embedded continuous discrete choice models can be used [57].…”

There are significant deviations in travel mode choice drivers between developed and developing countries. This study investigates the determinants of car ownership and public transit ridership in Iran. Using survey data from 800 respondents, the determinants of travel behaviour of Kerman residents were investigated, based on gender, age, household size, car ownership, frequency of public transport ridership, number of working days per week, number of shopping activities in the neighbourhood per week, number of entertainment activities in the neighbourhood per week, and number of shopping activities in the city. Two multivariate models were estimated using the OLS and WLS methods. Our findings suggested that owning a car tends to increase as age, household size, number of working days and number of shopping days in the city decreases. An increase in the number of entertainment days in the neighbourhood raised the probability of car ownership while shopping in the neighbourhood did not influence car ownership. Public transport use was negatively influenced by gender, increased age and number of working days, but positively influenced by shopping in the city. Our research results have significant implications for transport planning. Firstly, changes in household size may not be a good basis to inform planning as our findings show that in Kerman as household size increases, car ownership decreases, and it does not influence public transport. Secondly, when planning road network connectivity (land use) higher working days are expected to increase both car ownership and public transport use.

“…The relationship between task allocation and activity and travel patterns (Arrows 2a and 2b) is addressed in many studies (e.g., Bernardo et al, 2015;Golob and McNally, 1997;Kim and Parent, 2016;Kim et al, 2015;Liu et al, 2018;Sarangi and Manoj, 2021;Scott and Kanaroglou, 2002;Smart et al, 2017;Solá, 2016;Srinivasan and Athuru, 2005;Srinivasan and Bhat, 2005;Vovsha et al, 2004aVovsha et al, , 2004bWang and Li, 2009;Yao et al, 2017Yao et al, , 2020Yoon and Goulias, 2010;Zhang and Fujiwara, 2006;Zhang et al, 2002;Zhang et al, 2005). Within a household, females tend to carry out more maintenance responsibilities than males (Cao and Chai, 2007;Srinivasan and Bhat, 2005).…”

“…In a nutshell, game theory is concerned with the study of multi-person decision problems (Gibbons, 1992). Although game-theoretic approaches have been applied to study household group decision making problem (e.g., Yao, Wang, & Yang, 2017), more studies, especially attempts to apply other decision theories (other than utility maximization theories), are needed.…”

Accompanying the rapid urban expansion and fast population growth is a progressive trend of residential relocation in developing countries, which necessitates a thorough understanding of households’ relocation decisions. Previous studies generally treated home relocation as an individual or unitary household decision, ignoring the interactive and collaborative decision-making mechanisms that household members may adopt when making group decisions. In view of this research gap, this study examines the feasibility of applying the egalitarian bargaining approach to simulating households’ group decisions concerning residential relocation and further compares its performance with the Nash bargaining and the conventional utilitarian approach. Moreover, the study experiments with the possibility of accommodating three possible group decision-making mechanisms using the latent class modeling framework. The proposed modeling approaches are applied to an empirical case study in Beijing. Results show that models based on the egalitarian and Nash bargaining principles have better model fits than the utilitarian principle, suggesting the importance of considering egalitarianism when modeling household members’ collaborative choice on residential relocation. Moreover, the model based on Nash bargaining has the best model fit, indicating that instead of merely seeking egalitarianism or utilitarianism, household members are more likely to strike a balance between fairness and efficiency.
