Abstract

The present study establishes the concept of demand responsive transit for metropolitan travel (M-DRT) and explores commuters’ mode choice to identify the role of attitudinal characteristics in the Seoul metropolitan area. We develop two discrete choice models (multinomial logit and integrated choice and latent variable models) using a dataset from a web-based stated preference survey. The result shows that unobserved psychological constructs (car-oriented, positive perception on M-DRT, and life satisfaction) play a crucial role in defining mode utility. Specifically, those who are dissatisfied with daily life such as commuting, recreation, and social interaction are likely to prefer M-DRT over traditional alternatives. Also, time valuation (particularly in-vehicle time) for the on-demand mode is significantly lower than those for others, resulting from the productive onboard environment. Based on the findings, we draw insights on the nature of M-DRT, operational strategies, treatment of psychological variables, and the future of the hands-free mode era.

期刊介绍： Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment focuses on original research exploring the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to these impacts, and their implications for transportation system design, planning, and management. The journal comprehensively covers the interaction between transportation and the environment, ranging from local effects on specific geographical areas to global implications such as natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution. We welcome research papers across all transportation modes, including maritime, air, and land transportation, assessing their environmental impacts broadly. Papers addressing both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered. The journal prioritizes empirical findings and policy responses of regulatory, planning, technical, or fiscal nature. Articles are policy-driven, accessible, and applicable to readers from diverse disciplines, emphasizing relevance and practicality. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions and welcome contributions from economically developing and advanced countries alike, reflecting our international orientation.
