MSc Thesis: Investigating user preferences for on-demand mobility services

Last year (before covid-19), we carried out two extensive SP surveys on the preferences towards on-demand mobility for urban and train station access trips. There is however still much to be explored within the datasets. Potential research questions and topics include:

• Are there any regional differences (in NL) in traveller preferences towards FLEX
• Clustering respondents based on their attitudes towards FLEX services
• Are on demand services perceived like shared modes (public transport) or private modes (car, bike)?
• Do people choose to maximise utility or minimise regret when choosing the access mode and train station
• Analysing the impact of train station proximity on access and station choice
• Access mode or train station? What do travellers choose first?
• How does train usage frequency affect access mode choice?
