Understanding the impact of urban form attributes on household vehicle ownership and choice in Metro Manila: Modeling, simulation, and application
Projected economic growth is expected to further increase vehicle ownership among households in Metropolitan Manila. This increase is likely to translate to higher energy requirements, elevated greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, as well as a worsening of traffic congestion. A multinomial lo...

Projected economic growth is expected to further increase vehicle ownership among households in Metropolitan Manila. This increase is likely to translate to higher energy requirements, elevated greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, as well as a worsening of traffic congestion.

The model utilized data gathered from a survey of 2,300 households from various areas of Metropolitan Manila.
