Hypothetical travel choices mirror real decisions, paving way for better planning.
The study looked at whether people make the same transportation choices in hypothetical situations as they do in real life. They used data from trips in Hamilton, Ontario, and tested how people would react to increased costs or unavailable transportation options. The results showed that information from hypothetical scenarios can be useful for understanding how people make travel choices. This can help analyze how people respond to changes in transportation options and improve models for predicting travel behavior.
