The utilization of multiagent technology for urban planning purposes has already received much attention with regard to predicting and evaluating the effects of different policy scenarios and plan alternatives. The generation of these plan alternatives, however, remains underexplored in this...

The scheduling of daily activities requires decisions to be made on which activities to conduct, where, when, for how long, and the transport mode involved. In a common conceptualization of the decision process, a multitude of time frames is involved. Longer term decisions determine the...

We propose a multiagent model in which developers and suppliers negotiate and generate proposals for developing a site, given multiple candidate locations in an urban area. In the model, the developer takes the initiative and coordinates the negotiation process with the aim of obtaining...

We argue that the social networks and activity-travel patterns of people interact and coevolve over time. Through social interaction, people exchange information about activity-travel choice alternatives and adapt their latent and overt preferences for alternatives to each other. At the same...

Rule-based models, such as decision trees, are ideally suited to represent discontinuous effects of independent variables on discrete choice behavior in transport or spatial systems. At the same time, however, the models require that continuous attributes, such as for example travel time and...

This paper reports the estimation of several discrete choice models describing reactions of individuals to congestion pricing scenarios. The models were estimated on data obtained in a stated adaptation experiment that was administered through the Internet and designed to examine how individuals...

Existing microscopic traffic models have often neglected departure time change as a possible response to congestion. In addition, they lack a formal model of how travellers base their daily travel decisions on the accumulated experience gathered from repetitively travelling through the transport...
