Modelling of the intercity passenger traffic division with consideration of timetable and costs for intracity movements

Abstract

This paper proposes a model to estimate the generalised cost of individual inter-municipal trips. The model integrates various aspects, including intra-city travel costs and passengers' preferences for departure and arrival times. This approach allows for a more accurate determination of passengers' choice of transport mode, route and trip. The model is flexible and can be modified and used within a traditional four-step transport demand forecasting model. The paper also outlines methods for determining calibration parameters, including analysis of input data obtained from sociological surveys and open sources, which allows for detailed calculation of parameters related to intra-city movements.
