With growing city tourism, there is an increasing need for urban travel demand models to consider traffic generated by visitors. Existing research has concentrated on socio-demographic and journey-related factors determine what influences the mode choice of tourists. In contrast, revealed preference data, such as time, almost never considered. this article, we present results discrete modeling ...

Mode choice is one of the most vital stages in transportation planning process and it has direct impact on the policy making decisions. Mode choice models deals very closely with the human choice making behaviour and thus continues to attract researchers for further exploration of commuter’s choice making process. The objective of this study is to carryout detailed review on various modeling me...

This paper focuses on the influence that Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) are expected to have on the business models and in particular the programming choice of TV stations and cable / satellite TV service providers. After presenting the theoretical underpinnings with respect to programming choice modeling for the TV industry, this work examines DVRs in detail covering their main product feature...

In the current paper, we propose a new utility-consistent modeling framework to explicitly link a count data model with an event type multinomial choice model. The proposed framework uses a multinomial probit kernel for the event type choice model and introduces unobserved heterogeneity in both the count and discrete choice components. Additionally, this paper establishes important new results ...

1. The class. Any abstraction is based on a choice of what is important and what isn't. The highly successful and useful class abstraction is the result of one such choice. It is useful for modeling many interesting aspects of objects. A notable exception is the modeling of system behavior; the class abstraction deals in sets of objects and is not suited for modeling how an object sends a stimu...
