Distribution of Dateline origins and destinations<br />
In a first step, the DATELINE observations will be used together with socioeconomic datasets<br />
and LOS datasets for nonchosen transportation modes (<strong>ETIS</strong> tasks <strong>WP</strong>2 and <strong>WP</strong>7) to estimate<br />
a destination/mode choice model for the modes road, air, and rail and the trip purpose “work”<br />
and “nonwork”. In this simplified set of transportation alternatives, ferry transport is associated<br />
with the mode that the ferry carries (train = rail; motor vehicle = road). Also, the characteristics<br />
of the intermodal access and egress to airports for the air mode are included as generalised costs<br />
from each NUTS centroid to each airport in the air mode (from <strong>ETIS</strong> task <strong>WP</strong>7). Finally, tour<br />
buses cannot at the moment be modelled due to a lack of data about their level of service. The<br />
trip purpose “nonwork” will consist of the DATELINE purposes “holiday” and “other private”.<br />
The parameters (generalised costs) of the model will be compared with those of the synthetic<br />
<strong>ETIS</strong> matrices. This is a first check of the OD matrices’ consistency.<br />
In a second step, the flows from the synthetic <strong>ETIS</strong> matrix will be compared with a derived flow<br />
matrix that is based on DATELINE. These flows are extrapolated as follows: the DATELINE<br />
matrix is first assigned to a network model (Bleisch and Fröhlich 2003), constrained by the<br />
estimated parameters of the discrete choice model. Then, the flows are adjusted according to<br />
UN/ECE (road) and IATA (air) link flows by an OD estimation method (Vrtic, Axhausen, Bell,<br />
Grosso and Matthews 2004 or Ortuzar and Willumsen 1995). The resulting DATELINEbased<br />
flow matrix can then be used as a basis for adjustments to the synthetic <strong>ETIS</strong> OD flow matrix<br />
using a suitable data fusion technique (See for example Peter Davidson Consultancy, 2003).<br />
