Abstract

Travel demand analysis is crucial in transport planning process. While developed countries have many choices of approaches in analysing or modelling travel demand that will give the best results, most developing countries are still struggling with elementary problems of the modelling process such as lack of professional work, technical resources and reliable data. Aggregate models that have been criticised as lacking in behavioural basis continue to be used in developing countries. This paper attempts to improve the application of the aggregate model by using fuzzy multiple attribute decision-making. The fuzzy multiple attribute decision-making method is applied to combine the variables affecting travel decision at each step to several single variables. The improvement integrates all the steps and could be considered to giving behavioural basis as well. The application of this approach in modelling the Central Java inter sub-province travel demand improves the statistical significance of the traditional model.
