Existing railroad lines for commuters and shoppers are sometimes used for access to an airport from a metropolitan area. If express trains run on such a line, conflicts arise between the convenience of regular users and airport users. This study considers how to operate trains in order to resolve the conflicts in railroad services to and from an airport. We first interview commuters on factors such as fares, congestion, speed, frequency, and choice of type of train, and formulate a discrete choice model for commuters with respect to a line to Chubu International Airport (under construction). Discrete choice models are certainly useful for explaining individual choice behavior but mutually affecting behavior is not revealed explicitly. Then, we make an aggregate analysis of train choice for the two types of users. The results suggest how to provide a fair and efficient service on the airport railroad line.
