The article focuses on stated preference methods and their application in the transport sector, especially in preference evaluation, demand analysis, and forecasting. The authors aim to introduce stated preference methods and explain how they differ from conventional revealed preference approaches. Drawing on eight years of experience, the authors introduce stated preference methods, contrast them with revealed preference approaches, and illustrate their successful application in key transport research areas with project examples. The paper concludes by highlighting market trends in the use of stated preference methods and offering insights into future expectations. Author: TRRL.
The article is concerned with stated preference methods and their use in the transport sector, particularly within the areas of preference evaluation, demand analysis and forecasting. Drawing upon their collective experience from the past eight years the authors set out to introduce stated preference methods and to discuss how they differ from more conventional revealed preference approaches. Some important transport research areas where stated preference methods have been successfully applied are discussed, illustrated with some appropriate project applications. The paper concludes by referring to some market trends in the use of stated preference methods providing an insight into what can be expected for the future. (Author/TRRL)
