A survey is conducted to determine the mode split between car and transit for the people living in an area. The modeller sets the utility of the
alternatives as:
Voar = -1.5 x TTear and Viransit = a – 1.5 × TTiransit where TT is the travel time in minutes.
Answer the following questions:
a. Which is the reference alternative.
(No answer given)
b. Paul loves driving his new car, ie. he is 92% sure of using car if TT is zero for both the alternatives. What should be the value of a in this situation?
Round your answer correct to three decimal digits
A correct answer is
"Car"
A correct answer is –2.442, which can be typed in as follows:
-2.442
