Abstract
Parameter estimation for individual travel choice models of the logit type has become a relatively routine exercise with the availability of modem statistical software (Ben- Akiva and Lerman, 1985; Oppenheim, 1995). For example, relatively complex mode choice models with nested submode models are now widely applied. Models which combine trip assignment with other steps of the travel forecasting procedure, however, remain an academic curiosity, despite their successful application to planning problems in Chicago and Stockholm (Boyce et al., 1992; Abrahamsson and Lundqvist, 1998). These combined models present estimation problems, moreover, which have not been addressed in the context of logit model estimation.
