Andrés García Martínez has made a stay at the University of Auckland (New Zealand) financed by the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness.
From September 12, 2016 to December 11, 2016, this stay has been financed by the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, by the State Program for the Promotion of Talent and its Employability (FPI Scholarship). It was conducted under the supervision of Prof. Avishai Ceder and Dr. Subeh Chowdhury, members of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Auckland.
The objective of the stay was based on the study of the influence of travel habits on how users perceive the fact of transferring by public transport. The results were included in the final model of the Transfer project, which has as its main objective to quantify the disutility perceived by public transport users when transferring. Two scientific articles were also developed. The first article (focused on the Madrid case study), summarizes the methodology used to design surveys of declared preferences, the calibration of the final model, and the discussion of results. The second article focuses on the comparison of the two case studies of the project (Madrid and Vitoria).
