What is Mode Choice Model? Mode Choice models define travelers’ choice towards choosing various modes like public transport or private transport modes. These models take into account all the input variables about each possible mode of transport that the traveler has available for the trip and gives the proportion of travelers which would use each mode of transport. This model sometimes called a mode split model. Mode choice model helps in building trip matrix and mode split model separates this matrix
