This paper addresses the relationship between travel behavior and land use patterns using a Structural Equations Modeling framework. The proposed model structure in this paper is by design heavily influenced by a model developed for Lisbon (1) to allow comparisons. In that paper the existence of...

Travel demand analysis and forecasting have developed rapidly over the past decade and are now entering a new "dynamic era" characterized by the recognition that time is an indispensable dimension of travel demand models (for overviews on the subject see Kitamura, 1990, and Pas, 1990). This...

The use of cross-sectional models in travel demand forecasting involves some fundamental problems. First, it is based on the untested assumption that cross-sectionally observed variations in travel behavior can be used as valid indicators of behavioral changes over time. Second, future values of...

An extensive evaluation of alternative estimation methods for logistic binary choice probabilities when applied to binary frequency data with limit cases is presented in this paper. The methods examined are: binomial-logistic (BL) model, Berkson's (BK) method, and Haldane's (HL) method. These...

A model system is developed to describe both trip generation and trip chaining in a coherent manner. A recursive structure is adopted to represent the generation of trips for different purposes, and the number of trip chains is expressed as a function of the numbers of trips by purpose. The...

Effective management of travel demand is a growing concern among transportation planners, engineers, local governments and business establishments. Most of the industrialized countries have realized that increasing transport capacity to satisfy travel demand is not a viable option for meeting...

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...

Many studies have examined the impact that the built environment has on physical activity, and much of the existing research posits that if communities will provide and improve active infrastructure such as trails, sidewalks, and bike lanes, people will become more physically active. However,...
