The purpose of this study was to examine the viability in a dutch context of disaggregate and simultaneous travel demand modelling. The general, and most important conclusion that can be drawn from the work undertaken in the course of the study is that disaggregate simultaneous models, estimated utilising the multinomial logit model, have considerable potential in the field of transportation, or travel demand, modelling. In addition to application in comprehensive planning studies, they are highly relevant to policy studies and both local and specific studies: indeed the shopping model described in this report clearly could be developed into a full shopping model for use in shopping centre location studies. They offer major advantages over conventional aggregate modelling techniques without, so far as is yet apparent, any significant disadvantages.
