Explain the concept of logit models for mode choice analysis? Compare between binary mode choice model and multinomial mode choice model with suitable formulas? Four zones ABCD are connected by two lane roads with travel times by car and bus given in table. The probability of choosing the car mode is found to be given by Pc = [1/ (1+e-u(x)], where u(x) =0.93-0.083 (ttcar ttbus). The total trip exchanges between zones are as follows: Determine two way volumes in cars per day on the road AB if the average car occupancy is 3.25.
