Route choice behaviour at mass events: Stated- versus revealed preferences of pedestrian route choices at SAIL Amsterdam 2015

This master thesis analysed the route choice behaviour at the mass event SAIL Amsterdam 2015. Both stated preference [SP] (online survey) and revealed preference [RP] (GPS-trackers) data was collected, to gain more insight into the behaviour of pedestrians. Attributes of influence on the route choices are researched on the one hand. On the other hand, both methods are compared. MNL models were estimated to find the influence of six attributes on the route choices. These six attributes were: attractions, crowdedness, signs, road size, trees and water. A large variation has been found in the results of both SP and RP. Which shows and emphasizes the difficulty of collecting valuable data with both methods. In the extensive discussions and recommendations, advice is given for the future designs of surveys; collecting data at mass events; and the methods for analysing both types of data.
