Abstract

This paper presents a choice model that can be used to simulate the impacts of variations in medium-long distance railway service characteristics (e.g. timetable, travel time, prices) on user choice of service type, run and class. The model, based on a nested-logit service/run/class/access-egress mode choice model, explicitly takes into account the desired departure (arrival) time and related early/late schedule delay penalties.
