Investigating travel choice behaviour: a new approach

由于基础设施决策涉及大量货币投资，因此能够准确预测交通政策的影响至关重要。最近在预测澳大利亚收费隧道的使用情况和收益方面的失败很好地说明了这一点。本项目旨在通过改进实际行为模型来预测对此类运输政策的反应，从而帮助作出更好的决策。此外，该项目有望通过首次合并陈述选择调查、实验经济学和自然驾驶模拟器的方法，在方法上做出贡献，以便更好地调查现实环境中的旅行选择行为。

Since large monetary investments are involved in infrastructure decisions, it is of utmost importance that impacts of transport policies can be accurately predicted. The recent failures to forecast usage and revenues of toll tunnels in Australia illustrate this well. This project aims to contribute by producing improved practical behavioural models to predict responses to such transport policies to assist in better decision making. Further, the project is expected to make several methodological contributions by for the first time merging methods from stated choice surveys, experimental economics, and naturalistic driving simulators in order to better investigate travel choice behaviour in realistic environments.
