Abstract: ConclusionThe paper presents an approach to re-design a passenger interchange node by random utility models.We calibrated nine discrete choice models taking into account attributes able to explain the passenger behaviour by observed flows and generalized least squares technique.The analysis highlighted which attributes and have a great influence on the passenger behaviour as the waiting time, the number of pedestrian crossings and the walking running time.Furthermore an ex ante / ex post analysis was carried out in order to design and evaluate measure to incentive modal integration improving perceived quality and transfer facility in walking path.Therefore, the user satisfaction level was determined on paths related to calibrated models in the study area analysed.Results of the analysis highlight as the developed methodology by calibrated model is a good decision support system to appraise measures that the designer can adopt to reduce transfer disutility of passengers.
