Stated Preference Approach in Shaping Urban Sustainable Multimodal Transport—A Literature Review

Stated preference surveys have been utilized in the field of sustainable multimodal transport planning for some time. Stated preference, which relies on hypothetical scenarios to determine user preferences, offers critical insights into travelers’ choices between different transport modes. The stated preference method is used in a wide range of transport studies, such as the mode choice, route choice, service attribute analysis, pricing and fare policies, and technical innovations. On the basis of the collected data in stated preference studies, it is possible to optimize current services, forecast future demand, or analyze the possibilities of nonexistent services. A literature review reveals that there are certain gaps regarding the calibration of utility functions in multimodal and new services.
