Abstract

With the increasing frequency of unplanned service disruptions in metro system, understanding the travel mode choice behavior is essential for the improvement of passenger evacuation strategies and enhancement of metro system security. Individuals’ choice behavior may exhibit heterogeneity, particularly when faced with diverse activities and multimodal transport modes. Based on the survey data of Xi’an, China, an error component mixed logit model was developed to explore the decision-making mechanism of mode choices and heterogeneous preferences for multimodal transport modes. The results indicate that activity-dependent attributes significantly influence mode choices. Longer travel distance increases the likelihood of individuals continuing metro travel. Activity urgency level has a significant negative effect on waiting for service resumption, but positively influences the choice of taxis. Furthermore, significant heterogeneity is observed in waiting tolerance and preferences for intermodal transport modes. These findings provide insights for the emergency management of metro system under unplanned service disruptions.

意外地铁服务中断下出行方式选择行为的异质性

随着地铁系统意外服务中断的日益频繁，了解乘客出行方式选择行为对改进乘客疏散策略和提高地铁系统安全性具有重要意义。个体的选择行为可能表现出异质性，特别是当面对多样化的活动和多式联运方式时。基于西安市的调查数据，建立了误差分量混合逻辑模型，探讨了多式联运模式选择和异质性偏好的决策机制。结果表明，与活动相关的属性显著影响模式选择。较长的旅行距离增加了个人继续乘坐地铁的可能性。活动紧急程度对等待恢复服务有显著的负向影响，但对出租车的选择有正向影响。此外，在等待容忍度和对多式联运方式的偏好方面，观察到显著的异质性。这些发现为地铁系统在意外服务中断情况下的应急管理提供了见解。

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.
