Apport d'un formalisme psychologique à la modélisation des préférences individuelles. Application aux choix d'itinéraires pédestres

2007

With the increasing need for a sustainable mobility, pedestrian movement analysis lately increased. In an attempt to get a more detailed knowledge of urban pedestrian movement, we intend to model the pedestrian's route choices. Our first approach is based on simple economic models, the discrete choice models. A psychological theory is added in the process in order to improve the pedestrian behaviour simulation. Results show that psychological formalisms are useful for individual choices' modelling. For this reason they could be used more systematically in the framework of urban mobility

Modelling mode choice for freight transport using advanced choice experiments

2015

Abstract In this paper we use advanced choice modelling techniques to analyse demand for freight transport in a context of modal choice. To this end, a stated preference (SP) survey was conducted in order to estimate freight shipper preferences for the main attributes that define the service offered by the different transport modes. From a methodological point of view, we focus on two critical issues in the construction of efficient choice experiments. Firstly, in obtaining good quality prior information about the parameters; and secondly, in the improved quality of the experimental data by tailoring a specific efficient design for every respondent in the sample. With these data, different …

Valoració de l’Avaluació en Competències a través de models d’elecció discreta

2017

La implantació dels nous mètodes d’ensenyament, sota el marc establert per l’Espai Europeu d’Educació  Superior (EEES), suposa un canvi en l’organització de la forma d’ensenyar i aprendre, centrat en la formació per competències. En termes d’avaluació, la nova forma d’ensenyament implica el pas d’un sistema d’avaluació única a un sistema d’avaluació contínua, en el qual l’estudiant participa activament en el procés d’aprenentatge i en la consecució no només dels objectius establerts per a cada assignatura, sinó també en l’adquisició d’habilitats i destreses més generals i de caràcter transversal. L’objectiu d’aquesta comunicació és presentar una anàlisi de l’impacte sobre el resultat final …

Public transportation and fear of crime at BRT Systems: Approaching to the case of Barranquilla (Colombia) through integrated choice and latent varia…

2021

Abstract Security perception and Fear of Crime (FoC) in urban scenarios have the potential to affect travel behavior, changing people’s travel choices and patterns. In this sense, the feeling of being “safe” or “at-risk” in public transportation not only depends on observable factors like illumination, travel companionship or transport crowding, but also on unobservable individual-specific latent attributes, among which fear of crime constitutes a major issue to consider in transport security policy-making. This study aimed to describe the relationships among sociodemographic features, travel situations, system-design features, and the Fear of Crime at three different locations (buses, bus …

A heuristic method for estimating attribute importance by measuring choice time in a ranking task

2012

The evaluation of a product or service in terms of its attributes has been broadly studied in marketing, management and decision sciences. However, methods for finding important attributes have theoretical and practical limitations. The former are related to the selection of the most appropriate model; the latter are due to large number of variables that affect the specific experimental context. This study aims to present a new methodology that captures attribute preferences from a respondent and in particular, by using the choice time in a ranking task, it allows to indirectly obtain the importance weights for several tested attributes through a simple, fast and inexpensive procedure. More…

Modélisation des choix d'itinéraires pédestres en milieu urbain. Approche géographique et paysagère

2006

Nowadays, on foot journeys create renewed interest as a complementary mode of transport. Indeed, local decision makers appear as willing to reduce the imbalance between different ways of transport within the cities. In the field of Geography the term ‘mobility' refers to the practice of exchanges and movements done by individuals or groups of individuals; this mobility is likely to reveal the characteristics of places and to contribute to their alteration. Among all the modes of transport, walking implies a privileged relation between persons and area they live in. As an element of the living environment used on a daily basis and eventually integrated by the prism of perception the visible …
