This thesis investigates the work trip mode choice behavior by different kind of jobs using interview survey data for Taejeon (1999).
The Logit model is applied to build up the utility function for alternatives. Travel costs, travel times, sex, license hold and income levels are selected as explanatory variables. Three types of model are compared and analyzed by different kinds of jobs.
As a results, the coefficient of travel time for employee of company is -0.7406, -0.7249 for production/commerce/construction, -0.1188 for public officials, -0.1529 for technical experts, -2.393 for service jobs. The coefficient for service men is higher than others.
The coefficient of travel cost/income for technical experts is -0.03474, -0.02804 for employee of company, -0.2964 for production/commerce/construction.
Elasticity analysis for the models shows that travel costs of passenger cars and travel times of buses, are dominant variables for mode choice behavior of work trip by different jobs.
In case of service jobs which are more sensitive than other jobs, 1% increase of bus travel times results decrease of -0.9157 unit of demands.
