Travel Choice Behavior of Transit Passengers in the Storm Weather with Road Waterlogging

Abstract:

Derived from revealed preference (RP) and stated preference (SP) survey results for the transit passengers, this paper developed the travel choice behavior model considering the effects on bus route operation under three types of storm waterlogging scenarios. Sensitivity analysis was also performed to evaluate the critical factors for transit passengers in choosing their travel modes, which include walk time, transit fare, in-bus congestion degree, and in-bus travel time (from high to low). And, the main features of the selected travel modes are zero transfer, low fare, easy to change traveling intention and stable operation (from high to low). These finding could have implications for developing bus emergency management plan and serve as references for public transit agency regarding bus dispatching, information announcement and traffic safeguard.
