Analysis of Transport Mode Choice in Kathmandu Valley, Nepal: Lessons from Trondheim, Norway
(I.O.E. Pulchowk Campus, 2022-09) Adhikari, Aashish
Transportation Planning is essential as it is a basic foundation of society linked with mobility and several domains of environment and sustainability. An important aspect of urban transportation planning is travel demand analysis, particularly mode choice modeling which helps in understanding the decision-making process which is a need for creating suitable actions for achieving sustainable mobility by creating factors that can motivate individuals to avoid-shift and improve different modes of transportation. This paper uses both quantitative and qualitative methodologies for analyzing how different modes of transportation are used and their relationship with infrastructure which influences the particular mode choice along with studying the relationship between mode choice and land use attributes. A case study approach was taken from where different lessons were drawn. The results can show an analysis of different modes of transportation and their usage with the reason for particular mode selection along with mode shift parameters and the influence of infrastructure on particular mode choice. The research generates different conclusions and implications comparing different modes and can be used as a reference for further research on travel behavior and mode choice.
