Abstract

The paper discusses how abstract transportation system characteristics like convenience can be quantified using psychometric scaling techniques and included as explanatory variables in behavioural models of travel demand. It is concluded that the generalized attribute approach is a feasible concept which can significantly improve the explanatory power of conventional models of travel behaviour.
