Outline of lecture
(1) To study the theory and application of "Discrete Choice Model (DCM)", which is the most well known method of travel demand forecasting.
- Theoretical Basis: Microeconomics, Applied Statistics, Optimization Theory, Simulation
- Applications: Predicting market shares in travel demand or others, Economic evaluation of transport infrastructures
(2) To learn about some practical issues of DCM through several exercises and assignments (Model estimation with some dataset).
- BIOGEME": Free software for estimation and simulation with DCM
- Computer Labs. with dataset from various research fields such as "Transportation", "Telecommunication", "Energy appliances"and "Marketing".

Evaluation
- Class participation
- Five assignments (corresponding five exercises)
Comments from lecturer
- Students are required to bring a laptop PC for the five exercises.
- All lecture materials will be uploaded on TITECH OCW-i (https://secure.ocw.titech.ac.jp/ocwi/) 3-day-before in advance. Students have to print it out and bring it to the class.
