Choice behavior of urban rail station connection mode considering influence of psychological latent variables
Based on the framework of planning behavior theory,this study introduces two latent vari-ables(travel habits and perceived attitudes)from the dimensions of travelers'experience in using connection tools and attribute evaluation of connection tools to construct a multi-index multicausal model of choice intention of urban rail station connection mode.In addition,the influencing factors and their action paths for the choice intention of the urban rail station connection mode are investigat-ed.A hybrid-choice model was established by combining with a nested logit model to examine the in-fluencing factors and influencing mechanisms of the choice behavior of the connection mode at the origin and destination sides of the urban rail station.The results show that the latent variables of be-havioral habits directly influence the choice intention of the connection mode,and the perceived atti-tude has a direct impact on the choice intention of the walking and shared bicycle connection.The observable variables that significantly influence the choice intention of the connection mode are edu-cation background,vehicle ownership,income,connection distance,and number of travelers.The presence or absence of private cars and electric vehicles has a greater impact than slow traffic and road public transportation on the choice of private transportation modes.Personal socioeconomic at-tributes such as education and occupation,travel attributes such as travel purpose and number of trav-elers,and psychological attributes such as subjective norms and behavior intentions significantly in-fluence the origin-and destination-side mode choice behaviors.Travel cost,subjective norms,and behavioral attitude have a greater impact on the choice of the connection mode at the origin side than at the destination side.The choice of the connection mode at the origin side impacts the connection decision-making behavior at the destination side.
