This paper reports a comparative analysis of different models proposed in the literature for the simulation of modal choice in an urban area. Three popular models: Multinomial Logit, Multinomial Probit and Box-Cox Logit are specified, calibrated and validated, with reference to a real town. A new model is also tested, the Multinomial Probit Logit model. The results obtained with different specifications are reported. The characteristics of the models are compared and examined.
