Abstract EN
Time-of-day (TOD) or departure time choice (DTC) has become an interesting issue over two decades.
Many researches have intensely focused on time-of-day or departure time choice study, especially workday departures.
However, the travel behavior during long-holiday/intercity travel has received relatively little attention in previous studies.
This paper shows the characteristics of long-holiday intercity travel patterns based on 2012 New Year data collected in Thailand with a specific focus on departure time choice of car commuters due to traffic congestion occurring during the beginning of festivals.
590 interview data were analyzed to provide more understanding of general characteristics of DTC behavior for intercity travel at the beginning of a Bangkok long-holiday.
Moreover, the Multinomial Logit Model (MNL) was used to find the car-based DTC model.
The results showed that travelers tend to travel at the peak period when the parameters of personal and household are not so significant, in contrast to the trip-related characteristics and holiday variables that play important roles in traveler decision on departure time choice.
Finally, some policies to distribute travel demand and reduce the repeatable traffic congestion at the beginning of festivals are recommended.
