From Transit Systems to Models: Data Representation and Collection

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Springer Tracts on Transportation and Traffic ((STTT))

Abstract

This chapter deals with the data that form input and output of passenger route choice models. All information about supply and demand that is relevant to passenger route choice must be captured in a formal way in order to be accessible to mathematical choice models. Over time standard conventions for this formalisation have emerged. In order to avoid repetition in Part III, they are presented once in Sect. 5.1.
