Functional form: capturing nonlinearities Interactions Transport and Mobility Laboratory Multinomial logit 18 / 70
21 Systematic utility Linear utility Functional form: linear utility Notation for explanatory variables x in = (z in, S n ) In general, linear-in-parameters utility functions are used V in = V (z in, S n ) = V (x in ) = k β k (x in ) k Not as restrictive as it may seem Transport and Mobility Laboratory Multinomial logit 19 / 70
22 Systematic utility Continuous variables Explanatory variables: attributes of alternatives Numerical and continuous (z in ) k R, i, n, k Associated with a specific unit Examples Auto in-vehicle time (in min.)
