Modal Split

The document discusses modal split, which is the process of categorizing trips based on different modes of travel, such as private cars and public transport. It outlines factors affecting modal split, including trip characteristics, household characteristics, and network characteristics, as well as models used for trip prediction and interchange. Additionally, it highlights the advantages and disadvantages of various models, including the Trip End Model and Trip Interchange Model, while also mentioning Logit Analysis for predicting travel behavior.

Modal Split
Purpose:
• The process of separating these trips in different modes of travel. Determine proportion of trips.
• Expressed as a fraction, ratio or percentage of the total number of trips 1. Private cars
2. Public transport
- Captive riders
Factors - Choice riders

Own personal characteristics

Characteristics of transport system M1

Trip characteristics
Origin M2 Destination
Trip end characteristics
M3

Mode choice is the process Modal split is the process


by which the trip maker of separating trips in
chooses a particular mode. different modes.
Factors Affecting Modal Split
Trip characteristics

• Trip purpose
• Trip Length
Household Characteristics

• Income
• Car ownership
• Family size

Zonal characteristics

• Residential density
• Distance from CBD
• Concentration of workers
Network characteristics

• Accessibility ratio
• Travel time ratio
• Travel cost ratio
Trip End Model
Factors affecting the trip end model
• Models, applied prior to trip distribution stage Income
(immediately after trip generation) Family size and composition
• No accountability of trip characteristics Residential density
• Emphasizes on captive riders Location of zones relative to CBD
• For medium and small size cities Zone accessibility

Advantages:
• less difficult and less costly
For trip prediction:
• separate consideration of public transport and
Regression or category analysis procedures are used:
private car
T = A + B X₁ + C X₂ + D X₃
• reflects factors such as income, family size and
Where:
composition, employment
T = Number of public transport trips
A, B, C, D = constants
Disadvantages:
X₁ = Number of trips generated in zone of origin
X₂ = Measure of public transport accessibility • non-sensitive for future transit service
X₃ = Measure of car ownership in the zone of origin • emphasize captive riders
• not consider all trip generation characteristics
Trip Interchange Model
Parameters of level of services
• relative travel time
• performed after trip distribution, the effect of modal choice • excess travel time
on distribution is neglected • relative travel cost
• focus on choice riders • relative level of service
• for competing modes of transport, allocation of trip • economic status of trip maker
movements from trip distribution
• level of services provided by transport system
Advantages:
• useful in public transport planning
• zone to zone usage of private car & public
Ratios used: transport
Travel time ratio (TTR): the ratio of door to door travel time by
the public transit and car
Travel cost ratio (CR): the ratio of out of pocket travel costs by Disadvantages:
public transit and cars • more complex when the number of zones is
Travel Service ratio (SR): the ratio of excess travel times by large
transit and car • trip distribution is carried out before modal
choice
• not consider length of journey by car & public
transport
At trip generation stage itself

Pre distribution modal split analysis

Post distribution modal split analysis

Logit Analysis
The probability of the occurrence of an event varies with respect to function F(x) as a sigmoid curve
called the logistic curve.
