Fig. 8.5 Conceptual mapping of corridor space analytical frame

The near fuzzy region, the green region in Fig. 8.5 , and its estimate serve as a trade-
off and a measure of whether the on as well as the off estimates make comparative
sense. Thus, a near estimate equal to or close to the on estimate may give clues to
the reliability of the latter. The decision on best estimates with associated multiple
buffers is left to the analyst but with some reasonable justification. The assumption
here is that a near estimate equaling or less than one third of an on estimate
is a meaningful trade-off. The notion of trade-off here is similar, for example,
to argued case for using a calibration process as a trade-off between bias and
standard error in the mechanics of geographically weighted regression (GWR)
method (Fotheringham et al. 2002 , p. 52). In other words, the trade-off serves as
a tolerable measure for the acceptance of on and off estimates in our case.

Understanding route choice preferences for people's travel behavior is important
in the context of transportation research. Both the built environment in which the
