Travelers in multimodal networks make many choices (e.g., main mode, access modes, egress modes, boarding nodes, transfer nodes, and egress nodes). One way to address this complexity of choices is to analyze choice sets of multimodal routes. However, choice sets for multimodal networks are large, and overlap of routes within choice sets is substantial. This paper focuses on overlap in multimodal transport networks. An overview of the topic of overlap and route choice modeling is given and is followed by an analysis of how overlap might be defined in the context of multimodal networks. Three definitions of “overlap” are proposed, based on number of legs, time, or distance. The different definitions are analyzed using path size logit estimations, which show that path size must be accounted for. Furthermore, the definition of “path size” for multimodal transport networks should be different from that used for road networks: for multimodal transport networks, a definition using number of legs yields substantially better results. Estimation results suggest that the weighting parameter corresponding with the path size variable should be equal to 1, implying that the path size variable based on number of legs accounts for the correlation of error terms of overlapping parts.
