Park　and　ride　is　a　kind　of　traffic　management　solution　to　the　traffic　congestion　problem　in　urban　cities.　This　paper　analyzes　the　decision　making　behavior　of　Park　and　Ride　from　a　psychological　point　of　view.　Decision　Field　Theory　is　used　to　establish　the　decision　model　of　Park　and　Ride.　The　proposed　decision　model　is　calibrated　using　real-life　experimental　survey　data　and　has　proved　to　be　able　to　account　for　the　complex　decision　behavior　processes　observed　in　the　experimental　survey　data.　The　model　demonstrates　the　psychological　decision　processes　of　individual　travelers　and　the　decision　characteristics,　such　as　simple　decision,　indecision　and　preference　reversal.　The　effects　of　factors,　e.g.　deliberation　time,　deliberation　threshold　and　initial　preference,　for　mode　choice　are　also　examined.　The　proposed　model　demonstrates　its　capability　of　analyzing　park-and-ride　decision　behavior　and　providing　policy　makers　with　useful　information　for　future　promotion　and　planning　for　park-and-ride　facilities.　(C)　2013　Elsevier　Ltd.　All　rights　reserved.
