MODEL FOR INDIVIDUAL TRAVEL BEHAVIOUR

THE ANALYSIS IN THIS STUDY OF INDIVIDUAL TRAVEL BEHAVIOR IS DEVELOPED FROM THE HYPOTHESIS THAT THE SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL STRUCTURE OF THE URBAN ACTIVITY PATTERN IS DETERMINED BY THE CONCURRENCE OF INDIVIDUAL ACTIVITY PATTERNS. AS ANALYSIS OF EMPIRICAL DATA SHOWS THAT TIME BUDGET AND DAILY MOVEMENT PATTERN OF A PERSON, LIVING IN AN URBAN AREA, IS PRIMARILY DETERMINED BY AGE AND SEX OF THIS PERSON. THE HOURLY DISTRIBUTION OF CHANGES OF PLACE DEPENDS ON THE TEMPORAL DISTRIBUTION OF ACTIVITIES OVER A DAY'S PERIOD. THE CONCEPTUALIZED "INDIVIDUAL-FACTOR-MODEL" IS A DESCRIPTIVE MODEL BY NATURE. CONTRARY TO CURRENT TRIP GENERATION MODELS, IT TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE UNDERLYING CAUSE-EFFECT-RELATIONSHIPS AND BASES TRIP GENERATION ON INDIVIDUAL CRITERIA OF THE "TRAFFIC-GENERATORS." /DOT/
