| Summary | To provide a convenient and high-quality public transportation service, Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC) implements public transportation development projects with a budget of 2 billion NT dollars to improve public transportation during 2010~2012 so as to create a better operational environment for public transportation and to attract more private vehicles users towards transportation sustainbability. However, to examine the cost-effectiveness of this project, it is imperial to develop theoretic and systematic models to evaluate goal achievement and to feedback necessary adjustments based on the changes in demand-side behaviors.
Based on this, this study employs disaggregate choice theory to develop a mode choice model for travelers in various residential areas and with different trip characteristics based on a large-scale nationwide questionnaire survey. Meanwhile, an aggregate econometric model is also developed by regressing public transportaion usage rate on related explanatory variables. The estimations results of both disaggregate and aggregate models can be cross-validated and mutually supported. Based on the estimated models, a decision support system is then developed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the public transportation development policy and to facilitae budgeting and allocation decisions for consequent years. |
