ACTIVITY BASED DISAGGREGATE TRAVEL DEMAND MODEL SYSTEM WITH DAILY ACTIVITY SCHEDULES

The authors present an integrated activity based discrete choice model system of an individual's daily activity and travel schedule, intended for use in forecasting urban passenger travel demand. The system is demonstrated using a 1991 Boston travel survey and level of service data. The model system represents a person's choice of activities and associated travel as a daily activity pattern overarching a set of tours. The daily activity pattern includes (a) the primary activity of the day, with one alternative being to remain at home for all the day's activities; (b) the type of tour for the primary activity, including the number, purpose and sequence of activity stops; and (c) the number and purpose of secondary tours. Tour models include the choice of time, destination and mode of travel, and are conditioned by the choice of a daily activity pattern. The choice of daily activity pattern is influenced by the expected maximum utility derived from the available tour alternatives.
