N2 - This paper describes the first results of a study on the impact of events on
transport mode choice decisions. An Internet-based survey was designed to collect
data concerning seven structural lifecycle events. In addition, respondents answered
questions about personal and household characteristics, possession and availability
of transport modes and their current travel behaviour. In total, 710 respondents
completed the online survey. The complexity of transport mode choice is modelled
using a Bayesian Decision Network. This paper only focuses on the time influence of
events on transport mode choice decisions. We assume that people change or at
least reconsider their behaviour after a structural, lifecycle event, sometimes directly
after experiencing a change and sometimes only after a while. We estimated a
multinomial choice model to estimate the effect of these structural events, and in
particular of the length of the time elapsed, on transport mode choice.
