Assessments of Modal Split in Long-distance Passenger Transport

Abstract

Abstract:The goal of this paper is to present basic alternative assessments of the division of transport work (or also "modal split") of main transport modes. For this, an example of selected long-distance connections between centres in Czechia, including an identification of major underlying factors, shall be exploited. The paper examines the competitiveness of rail transport in its relation to bus and individual automobile transport, and relations with a potential of rail transport are primarily selected. A logit model is applied within the selected set of relations. It is entered in particular by indicators of time (time of a ride, frequency of public transport lines) and finances (actual transport costs) through a financial expression of generalised costs. The purpose of the paper is to verify the selected procedure on the relations transport modes of which are similar, and to highlight the alternatives of a comprehensive assessment of the modal split of main transport modes in Czechia. In the conclusion, the gained results are used to outline further alternative prospects of the topic under observation.

Analysis of Competitiveness of Railway Passanger Transport Between Rakovník and Prague

“…[1] Nested logit model is phasing out the calculation in two phases. The first phase determines modal split between individual transport and public transport.…”

“…Determination of these costs is performed according to the Formula 3, where D i čas is travel time (in hours) using transport mode i, W čas is the perceived value of time (in CZK/hour), D i dost is time availability of the transport mode i (in hours), J i is fare using transport mode i (in CZK) and I i,1/2 is half the interval between links of the transport mode i (in hours). [1] Results of second phase are the conditional probabilities P i∨V D of the use of transport mean i under the condition of using public transport. The probability P i of use of the transport mean is thus given by On the line 120 are operated in 120 minutes period fast trains Praha -Rakovník.…”

“…328/2014 Coll., so N IAD = 6, 213 CZK/km. For the average occupancy of the vehicle according to Chmelík [1] was calculated with the value O IAD = 2. For variable value D IAD dost is selected D IAD dost = 0, 25 h (5 minutes attendance from the journey origin to the vehicle, 5 minutes attendance from the car to the final destination and 5 minutes time on finding a parking space and parking).…”

“…For bus services is being considered at ordinary fare payment smart card, for rail services with custom fare IN 25, at the Prague urban transport then using annual coupon for an adult. Perceived time value is calculated according to Chmelík [1] …”

Integrated Passenger Transport System in Rural Areas – A Literature Review

“…The primary analysis tool recommended for modal allocation is the Logit model because it offers the most reliable output variables for more than two modes of transport. By applying the model, we can obtain numerical values for assessing sections of integrated passenger transport [49].…”
