Valor do tempo de viagem, Carga, Escolha modal, Preferência declaradaAbstract
This paper analyses shippers' decision structure from two Brazilian states: Rio Grande do Sul (RS) and Rio de Janeiro (RJ). Discrete choice models are estimated to analyze the mode choice of cargo shippers from Stated Preference data. The results evidence and quantify the impact on cargo carriers' preferences of minimizing time, costs, and delay in merchandise shipment. Also, quantify the reliability effect, mode availability, and type of service in the modal choice. The results show the complementarity of the RJ and RS data in the models' estimation. Cargo shippers from both states similarly perceive cost characteristics; however, they perceive reliability and travel time characteristics differently. The value of time for RJ was R$ / t. h 7.43 and for RS of R$ / t. h 2.49.
