This paper presents the methodology used in developing a fully-functional mode choice module capability to be incorporated into the Brisbane Strategic Transport Model (BSTM); capable of estimating mode shares in a multi-modal travel environment. The new mode choice module consists of unique logit models developed for eight trip purpose categories home based work(white collar) (HBW-W), home based work (blue collar) (HBW-B), home based education (primary & secondary) (HBE-PS), home based education (tertiary) (HBE-T), home based shopping (HBS), home based other (HBO), work based work (WBW) and other non-home based trips (ONHB). All these trip purpose sub-categories were defined as part of the model development framework. This project forms a critical part of the four-step travel demand model being developed by the Main Roads/Queensland Transport Portfolio Transport Modelling Team (PTMT).
