Hierarchical Information Integration

Rising issues in urbanization and transportation urge municipalities to optimize the use of on-street parking spaces in order to meet local needs and complement the role of available off-street parking. In this paper car drivers’ parking decisions have been investigated using a stated choice experiment, based on the method of integrated hierarchical information integration. According to this approach, a large set of parking related attributes and attribute levels are grouped into two higher order decision constructs, which are presented as hypothetical street segments. The respondents were asked if they would park their car in the street segment with the listed attributes. The collected data is used to estimate the parameters of a standard multinomial logit model. This study differs from previous studies as a large range of attributes is examined, including the parking situation and the road conditions in a street segment along with some features of off-street parking facilities present in the vicinity of the street segment. The results indicate that the contextual variables such as ‘walking distance to destination’ and ‘parking cost’ are key attributes that car drivers consider while making on-street parking decisions, while street-level attributes such as ‘occupancy,’‘security,’ and ‘surrounding activities’ seem to have only a minor impact. The study concludes with an outlook of how these insights into car drivers’ parking choice process can be used by local authorities to reduce cruising in urban areas. Moreover, these findings can be integrated in multi-agent systems to investigate car drivers’ movements in urban areas.

Yogyakarta City

The development of Yogyakarta City arises the issue of congestion that might interfere various activities, one of them is tourism activity. This aims at strategizing integration of public transport system for reducing congestion. It seeks an integration strategy of public transport system that can improve accessibility and support tourism in Yogyakarta City based on domestic tourist preference. Using descriptive statistics, service quality (servqual), and importance-performance analysis (IPA), it was revealed that respondents feel less satisfied with the quality of service of integration of public transport system, for which an improvement is needed. This can be done by strategizing integration of public transport system, from the strategy will be known the order of handling priority each variable, i.e. (1) schedule integration, (2) network integration, (3) land use integration, (4) physical integration, and (5) information integration which is done by improving its performance. Furthermore, (6) social integration, (7) environmental integration, and (8) fare and ticket integration which is done by maintaining its performance.

Hierarchical Information Integration

This paper reports the main findings of a study, conducted in the Netherlands, aimed at testing whether preference functions for park-and-ride facilities, estimated from data collected in a specific Dutch region, can be generalized to a nationwide sample. Preference data in both samples were collected with hierarchical information integration. Contrast parameters were used to test the equality of a set of parameters for decision constructs that were assumed to influence the choice of park-and-ride facilities. Results suggest that the estimated preference functions for the two samples are largely the same within conventional statistical error bounds and provide empirical evidence of generalizability. In addition to the academic importance of this finding, for practitioners it means that no tailored-made research is required to assess the feasibility of such new park-and-ride facilities, especially if the results of this study are further replicated in other contexts and regions.
