Abstract:

In order to analyze the impact of transit transfer preferential (TTP) policy on residents' transfer behavior, a questionnaire of combining Revealed Preference (RP) and Stated Preference (SP) was designed to collect data on respondents' socio-economic attributes, travel characteristics, psychological perceptions, and preferences in different transfer scenarios. Using an integrated choice and latent variable (ICLV) model, a transfer behavior model was established to explore the decision-making mechanism of residents under the TTP policy. The analysis results show that the fitting effect of the ICLV model is better that that of the SEM-Logit model. In the ICLV model, individuals' socio-economic attributes and travel characteristics can directly influence transfer behavior and indirectly influence it through psychological latent variables. The perceived ease of use and travel habits among the psychological latent variables have positive and negative impacts on residents' transfer behavior, respectively. Attitude acts as a moderating variable, where a better attitude towards the TTP policy enhances the positive impact of preferential magnitude on transfer behavior. When perceived transfer convenience and public transportation travel habits under the TTP policy increase 1%, the probability of choosing to transfer increase by 4.67% and decrease by 4.62%, respectively. By introducing variables such as individuals' socio-economic attributes and travel characteristics to estimate latent variables, the method overcomes the measurement error problem inherent in using questionnaire items to estimate latent variables thereby improving the explanatory power of the model estimation. The conclusions can provide theoretical support and reference value for government departments in planning, formulating, and implementing the TTP policy.

Key words: engineering of communications and transportation system, transfer behavior, transit transfer preferential policy, integrated choice and latent variable model, psychological latent variables
