This paper presents a new paradigm for choice set generation in the context of route choice model estimation. We assume that the choice sets contain all paths connecting each origin-destination pair. Although this is behaviorally questionable, we make this assumption in order to avoid bias in...

The conditional indirect utility of many random utility maximization (RUM) discrete choice models is specified as a sum of an index V depending on observables and an independent random term [epsilon]. In general, the universe of RUM consistent models is much larger, even fixing some...

We address two fundamental issues associated with the use of cross-nested logit models. On the one hand, we justify the adequate normalization of the model proposed by Wen and Koppelman [Wen, C.-H., Koppelman, F.S., 2001. The generalized nested logit model. Transportation Research Part B 35(7),...

This article proposes an improvement of existing methods of origin-destination matrix estimation by an explicit use of data describing the structure of the matrix. These data can be obtained from parking surveys. The new model is applied on both illustrative and real examples, and the results...

We propose and validate a model for pedestrian walking behavior, based on discrete choice modeling. Two main types of behavior are identified: unconstrained and constrained. By unconstrained, we refer to behavior patterns which are independent from other individuals. The constrained patterns are...

When using random utility models for a route choice problem, a critical issue is the significant correlation among alternatives. There are basically two types of models proposed in the literature to address it: (i) a deterministic correction of the path utilities in a Multinomial Logit model...
