This paper describes the development and application of an activity-based microsimulation model system capable of simulating changes in individual travel patterns in response to a transportation control measure. A unique activity-based time use survey was conducted to obtain information on...

This paper argues that transportation planning methodologies must be built on the central thesis of the activity-based approach to travel demand modeling, namely, that travel is a derived demand that reflects people's desire and need to participate in activities. The paper discusses why this...

Transferability studies have focused on the component models of the conventional four-step urban travel forecasting model system. This study extends previous analyses by examining the transferability of models describing multidimensional travel and related choices. In particular, we examine the...

This paper describes the development, estimation and interpretation of a model relating socio-demographics, activity participation (time use) and travel behavior. A complex set of interrelationships among the variables of interest is estimated simultaneously using the structural equation...

This paper examines some properties of the well-known Braess' paradox of traffic flow, in the context of the classical network configuration used by Braess. The paper shows that whether Braess' paradox does or does not occur depends on the conditions of the problem; namely, the link congestion...
