| Abstract | Since the middle of this century, a model based on neural network theory which simulates human brain have had much attention as an information processing system. Its major fields of application are pattern identification, optimization and so on. In a sense, transportation modal choice is a pattern identification. In this study, a model bas ed on neural network theory is app lied to transportation modal choice problem. The main purpose of this study is to develop modal choice model based on neural network theory using actual data and evaluate its applicability, performance and characteristics. For this purpose, three data sets are used, that is, data collected in Indonesia, Shanghai and Taichung. As results of evaluation of applicability based on Indonesia' s data, it is ascertained that neural network model is applicable to transportation modal choice problem in terms of convergency, required time and its performance. Neural network model ' s performance is compared with conventional logit model based on Shanghai's data and Taichung ' s data. The percentage of correct answer of neural network model is much higher than the percentage of multinominal logit model. As an example of use of neural network model, a way how to identify variables in input data which are important to transportation modal choice is proposed in this study. Application of neural network model to transportation behavior analysis field is almost new trial. It is strongly recommended to apply neural network model to a lot of place and various kinds of data so as to establish a way how to make use of neural network model in actual use. |
