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.

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.
