Abstract Recent travel demand models and particularly mode-choice models have used a probabilistic disaggregate approach. That is, such models determine choice probabilities at the individual level. It is in this framework that one might be able to include qualitative measures affecting the individual's choice of a travel mode. The objective of this work is to develop a set of quantitative measures of comport. This is achieved by use of modern psychometric techniques. Principal factors of comfort are defined and various travel modes are represented as a set of points in this comport space. From the positioning of each point as well as from the variability of an individual's perception, an index of comfort is defined which describes the level of comfort of a particular travel mode to the particular individual.
