SPATIAL MODELLING OF THE TRANSPORT MODE CHOICE: APPLICATION ON THE VIENNA TRANSPORT NETWORK

A new approach for spatial modelling of transport mode choice is presented in the paper. The approach tackles the problem by considering the trade-off between subjective and objective factors. To obtain mode Preference Rates (PRs) based on subjective factors, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is applied. The objective factors are expressed with the journey time from any point in the map to destination according to the available transport mode choice on the specific connection. The results are presented as PRs of individual transport modes. The model is validated on the conducted the survey, with students of Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU) as a target audience. Members of different target groups (age, national, employment) decide differently regarding the transport choice, so it is better to analyse them separately. The presented model can be used for the city transport planning in any urban area. It can help promote the sustainable modes of transport in the areas that are less adjusted in sustainable manner.

The Influence of the Duration of Journey Stages on Transport Mode Choice: A Case Study in the City of Tarnow

In this paper, we present the effect of making too many private car journeys on city transport systems. A sustainable approach for the development of transport infrastructure is needed, which takes into account local conditions and needs, especially for areas with a high density of origins and destinations. The criteria for evaluating public transport and bicycle transport are presented, which, if acceptable to city residents, may lead to changes in transportation behaviors and, thus, a more efficient use of transport in daily travels. Factors affecting the mode of transport choice include the duration of particular stages of a journey, such as reaching the location where the first ride commences/driving from the travel origin, waiting for a vehicle (bus journeys) or ride/drive, and reaching the travel destination of the last ride/drive. Additionally, the possibility of using a car and having a seasonal ticket for public transport were taken into account. In this study, the results of detailed travel research in the Polish city of Tarnow were used. It has been proven that the low share of public transport in daily travels is due, among other things, to excessive time to reach a stop and due to walking to journey destinations, whereas the low share of cycling is mainly due to a lack of comfort and safe cycling infrastructure.

Analisis Angkutan Crude Palm Oil Multi Trip Dengan Kapal Tongkang

Crude palm oil (CPO) merupakan salah satu komoditas ekspor andalan indonesia. Prospek pasar CPO masih cukup cerah dimasa yang akan datang, untuk pasar domestik maupun ekspor. Indonesia menjadi penghasil CPO terbesar di dunia dan untuk membutuhkan optimalisasikan armada angkutan CPO. Pada penelitian ini menggunakan 7 tongkang dengan muatan 3 armada bermuatan 5000 metrik ton (MT) dan 4 armada bermuatan 3500 MT, dimana sistem tarik menggunakan kapal tunda, yang tersedia sebanyak 7 kapal tug. Transportasi angkutan CPO ini memiliki multi alur pelayaran dimana CPO akan di supply ke titik pelabuhan Surabaya sebanyak 92.000 MT dan di pelabuhan Jakarta sebanyak 52.000 MT dari titik muat (Pelabuhan singgah) di Samarinda, Palembang, Bonemanjing, Rengat, Dumai. Seluruh rute akan dioptimalisasikan untuk mendapatkan rute terbaik dan biaya yang minimum dengan menggunakan metode simplex dan linier program. Total biaya Required Freight Rate (RFR) dari 7 tongkang mencapai Rp. 274.003.209.166. Hasil menunjukan bahwa dengan menggunakan rute terbaik dan menggunakan 6 tongkang, kapasitas supply CPO meningkat menjadi 38 Ton. Dengan biaya RFR sebesar Rp. 253.058.332.728 biaya dapat diminimalisir hingga 20 milliar rupiah. Dari hasil penelitian memperlihatkan transportasi menggunakan tongkang dengan sistem tarik oleh kapal tunda masih dapat menjadi pilihan transportasi yang efisien dan efektif.Analysis of Multi-Trip Crude Palm Oil Shipment by Towed Barge; Crude palm oil (CPO) is one of Indonesia's mainstay exports commdity. The prospect of the CPO market still bright in the future, both domestically and exports. Crude palm oil (CPO) is one of Indonesia's mainstay exports. The prospect of the CPO market looks bright in the future, both domestically and in exports. Indonesia is the largest CPO producer in the world therefore the CPO transportation fleet must be optimized. In this study, seven barges with a cargo where 3 fleets with 5000 MT and 4 fleets with 3500 MT, where the tug system uses tugboats, which are available as many as 7 tugboats. This transportation of CPO transportatison has multiple channels where CPO will be supplied to Surabaya port for 92,000 MT, and at Jakarta ports as much as 52,000 MT from loading points in Samarinda, Palembang, Bonemanjing, Rengat, Dumai.All routes will be optimized to get the best route and minimum costs using simplex method and linear programing. The total cost of the Required Freight Rate (RFR) of 7 barges reaches Rp. 274.003.209.166. The results show that using the best route and utilize only 6 barges CPO supply capacity increases by 38 tons. With an RFR cost only Rp 253,058.332.728 can minimize costs up to 20 billion rupiah. The result showed that transportation using barge with a pull system by tugboat still become efficient and effective transport choice.

A logistic distribution model of new short sea shipping line along a mutimodal corridor in Italy

The purpose of the application focuses on an intermodal model (RPL) to simulate the transport choice for freight sending on the most relevant corridor Naples–Milan. In this, operate a rail- road system with the introduction a new short sea shipping (SSS) intermodal line (Naples Sea Genova road Milan). The paper considers a collaboration with a multimodal transport operator, with many logistic platforms in Italy to analyze the degree of competition inside corridor. An application along this very congested route Milan (Segrate interport) - Nola (Naples interport) was used. The econometric models applied to operator choices are a random parameter logit model vs multinomial logit model with frequency, type of load and cost as main parameters.

Public Transport Choice Behaviour in Thimi Bhaktapur

The public transport users tend to shift public transport mode in search of a better one. The choice depends on the various attributes of public transport, such as travel time, waiting time, comfort, safety, etc. Since there were competition among different public modes, such as buses, minibuses, microbuses, and even three-wheeler (tempo), the sustainability of the public transport directly depends on the public or users. The users continue to use those public transport which meet their expected level of service. This study focuses on examining attributes of different public transport alternatives available, investigating factors affecting preference of public transport alternatives and developing choice model for public transport alternatives. Multinomial logistic model was developed from the SPSS to find the probability of selecting particular public transport. The public transport choice among the four alternatives, whose destination was same, was found to be influenced by the variables, such as monthly income, age, travel time, walking time, waiting time, fare and gender. The model helps to understand the choice behavior of traveler and can be used for transport planning in future.
