Consideration set construction is the point where the research presented in this paper fits. The feasibility of a route for inclusion in the consideration set is assessed using several attributes (detour factor, number of left turns and others): we propose to additionally include the size of the minimum path decomposition in the assess- ment. The idea applies to both choice set generation an choice models (explanatory variables). It allows (i) to avoid overly circuitous routes and (ii) to avoid introducing unrealistic bias towards the shortest paths.
