Question: Utility function: Uk = Ak - 0 . 0 5 Ta - 0 . 0 4 Tw - 0 . 0 3 Tr - 0

Utility function: Uk = Ak -0.05 Ta -0.04 Tw -0.03 Tr -0.014 C (general)
Parameter Private Auto Mass Transit
Ta = access time (min.)510
Tw = waiting time (min.)015
Tr = riding time (min.)2540
C = out-of-pocket cost (cents)150100
Calibration constant, Ak -0.01-0.07
Part 1) Determine the share of person-trips for each modes using the multinomial logit model and capute
answers to BB as below
a) the utility of travel in the zone by auto [ANS1], Two decimal places with sign, E.g.-8,20
b) the utility of travel in the zone by bus [ANS2], Two decimal places with sign, E.g.-6,20
c) the % of travel in the zone by auto [ANS3], answer as a decimal, two decimal places
d) the % of travel in the zone by bus [ANS4], answer as a decimal, two decimal places
Part 2) For the same problem in part 1 an increase in the price of fuel has changed the out-of-pocket
costs for the auto mode to $1,80. Recalculate the mode shares accordingly and capture answers to BB
as follows:
a) the utility of travel in the zone by auto [ANS5], Two decimal places with sign, E.g.-8,20
b) the % of travel in the zone by auto [ANS7], answer as a decimal, two decimal places
c) the % of travel in the zone by bus [ANS8], answer as a decimal, two decimal places
Part 3) After implementing service improvements to the buses in part 1, the mode split changed to 81.6%
private auto use and 18.4% bus use. Determine a value for the calibration constant for the bus mode that
reflects this shift in mode split.
After completing your calculations in, capture the following to black board:
a) Determine eAuto [ANS1]; 4 decimal places
b) Determine ebus [ANS2]; 4 decimal places
c) Determine UBus [ANS3]; 4 decimal places
d) Determine AkBus[ANS4]; 4 decimal places
