Overloaded Vehicle Choice Behavior Analysis Based on Nested Logit Model

To effectively control the overloaded transportation, the trip choice behavior of the overloaded vehicle should be deeply examined. A overloaded vehicle usually makes a series of decisions according to the overloaded level, trip line, etc., to get the maximized economic benefit. Different trip decisions often generate different trip cost of overloaded vehicles and trip benefit. Based on the study of decision behavior and trip utility of carriers who use overloaded vehicles to travel, the nested Logit model is developed considering the hierarchical relationship between the degree of road overloaded vehicles and the trip route for the carriers travel. Based on the probability and quantitative method, the trip decision behaviors of those overloaded vehicles are analyzed, which offers scientific references for the management of overloaded vehicles and the theories of compensation rate of pricing.
