This paper investigates stated preferences for car-sharing in the context of travel mode choice under conditions of uncertain travel times. In particular, the study focuses on heterogeneity in the decision-making process due to different activity-travel contexts such as time pressure, activity duration, and uncertain travel times. It is assumed that the contextual factors influence the decision rules that potential users adopt regarding the use of a shared car for a specific trip purpose. A context-dependent latent class model allowing for the random panel effect is estimated, in which the latent classes respectively represent utility maximization and regret minimization decision rules. The model employs the contextual factors as covariates of class membership probability. A stated choice experiment, in which car-sharing, own car and public transport serve as the choice alternatives, is used to estimate the model. Results indicate that the activity-travel contexts play an important role in accounting for heterogeneity in decision rules.
