Abstract

Trip goal is the most important factor for vehicle choosing. A huge number of literatures have been allocated for estimating each factor (trip and traveller) share in modal split. Other respect is about estimating elasticity. So, how many the demand of each mode will change, if the price of one mod change. For this, it is need to considering complementary equation. In this paper, it is estimate the price elasticity for each transportation mode by using of Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS). Also, it is implied panel data instead of time series. For data gathering it is used questioner. The results show that, seasons have a significant impact on this elasticity. Furthermore, if it is increased 20 percent in airplane airfare it will cause 5.3 percent increase in bus using and 2 percent for railroad.
