6: MTC MNL Mode Choice, Motorized Times

Model 6 relaxes the travel time constraint further than Model 5 by disaggregating the travel time for motorized modes into distinct components for in-vehicle travel time (IVT) and out-of-vehicle travel time (OVT). This specification allows the two components of travel time for motorized travel to have different effects on utility with the expectation that travelers are more sensitive to out-of-vehicle time than in-vehicle time.

People may value time differently depending on what mode they’re in, so we’ll decompose tottime into ovtt and ivtt for the motorized alternatives.

         + P("nonmotorized_time") * X("(altnum>4) * tottime")
         + P("motorized_ovtt") * X("(altnum <= 4) * ovtt")
         + P("motorized_ivtt") * X("(altnum <= 4) * ivtt")
         + PX("totcost")
