Abstract
The selection of community transport mode is the result of transactions between supply and demand activities and depends on the position of each mode associated with its competitors. In Indonesia, the selection of metropolitan community modes is not based on the function of socio-economic characteristics of a person, movement system, and level of service mode. The model of the current mode selection function is based only on the approximate choice of modes, regardless of how the process of selecting the modes in real terms.
This study intends to complement the mode of transportation mode selection function in Mamminasa Metropolitan. Specifically do with two objective, first, to examine the model function of transportation mode selection based on socio-economic characteristics of community, movement network and transportation mode services; second, to examine the relationship between the variables forming the function of the utility choice and the validity level of the chosen function model through the detailed searching of the explanatory variables of the mode of transportation selection, based on the perception of the communitys wishes and explaining the probability of individuals in choosing the mode of transportation.
Data collection options in Mamminasata metropolitan main corridor movement, due to the uniqueness of activity between regions, the volume of traffic community is relatively high compared to other regions. Given the complexity of coverage, this paper is restricted to the motorized transport modes with the type of movement of the home base trip. Application of Multinomial Logistic Regression method was used to examine variables are influential in the choice of transportation mode selection through a proportionate stratified random sampling of primary data questionnaire.
The implications of this research are mainly in strengthening the function of a more complete mode selection system that describes the process of selecting, demanding and transport mode capabilities, contributing to the development of transportation planning and modeling. While the benefits are expected as a tool of policy interventions in handling transportation issues metropolitan in Indonesia.
