Joint modeling of constrained path enumeration and path choice behavior: a semi-compensatory approach

A behavioural and a modelling framework are proposed for representing route choice from a path set that satisfies travellers’ spatiotemporal constraints. Within the proposed framework, travellers’ master sets are constructed by path generation, consideration sets are delimited according to spatiotemporal constraints, and travellers’ route choices are represented from consideration sets.

A semi-compensatory model represents the constrained path enumera-tion with joint hazard-based and ordered probit models, and the path choice with a path size correction logit. Results show that spatiotemporal constraints are related to travellers’ socio-economic characteristics and that path choice is related to minimizing time and avoiding congestion.
