Accessibility, defined as the ease (or difficulty) with which activity opportunities can be reached from a given location, can be measured using the cumulative amount of opportunities from an origin within a given amount of travel time. These indicators can be used in regional planning and...

With the introduction and increasing reliance on the activity based approach in travel demand analysis and forecasting, discrete choice methods are more often in spatial contexts (e.g., residential location, job location, destination/activity choice). A necessity in specifying spatial choice...

A review of 46 activity-based models is conducted, detailing features that are required for homeland security applications. Two examples of homeland security studies are included to highlight these needs. This review demonstrates that only a few of the models have the desired characteristics of...

Formulation and specification of activity analysis models require better understanding of time allocation behavior that goes beyond the more recent within household analyses to understand selfish and altruistic behavior and how this relates to travel behavior. Using data from 1471 persons in a...

In this project we develop a new travel demand forecasting system that integrates demographic microsimulation with urban simulation and travel demand model systems. Our research objective is to identify the barriers in integrating complex simulation models and eliminate them by offering a...

In this paper land use densities by type of employment and infrastructure supply are used together with social and demographic characteristics to explain non-motorized travel, transit use, and solo driving in California. The land use database, the highway network database, and the travel survey...

In this study using data from Sylhet, Bangladesh, transportation expenditures are examined in detail for different income groups living in different natural and built environments. We employ Tobit models and a dataset of more than 22,000 persons in 4162 households to correlate transportation...

A model system of trip generation and trip chaining was developed by integrating concepts from activity-based analysis. The structure of the model system is recursive, depicting a sequential decision-making mechanism. The results were based on a data set from the Detroit metropolitan area. They...
