Not only multinomial logit (ML) model is usually used in the analysis of travel mode split, but also nested logit (NL) with the method of phased estimation is used. NL model was developed in the paper which used the simultaneous estimation method to analyze travel mode choice behavior on the basis of the basic theory of disaggregate model and data of stated preference survey (SP). In the course of estimating the parameters, the multi-constrained optimization function in optimal tool of MATLAB was used to solve the maximum likelihood function. Using this method, the parameters of model could be calibrated at the same time. The hit ratios are also accurate. It is found that the NL model approach can consider more factors affecting the travel mode choice of residents, improve the prediction accuracy of model and practicality.
