Paper Title
A Discrete Route Choice Model Using Support Vector Machine an Context of Dhaka City

Authors

Barua, Saurav

Abstract

The study delves to identify the route choice behavior between two alternative routes for a set of origin and destination point in Dhaka city. The Route 1 is Uttara to Motijheel through Rampura and the Route 2 is Uttara to Motijheel through Mohakhali. Perceived travel time, congestion level, trip purpose and familiarity of route are considered as important attributes for the route choice. A Support Vector Machine (SVM) approach is adopted to model the route choice behavior. The proposed model shows 88% accuracy in testing and precision of choosing Route 1 and Route 2 are 89% and 87% respectively. In total, 47.62% and 52.38% traffic are assigned in Route 1 and Route 2 respectively. Also found that, perceived travel time and familiarity of route are the most important attributes while making route choice decision.
