MODELING THE GENERATION AND ORGANIZATION OF HOUSEHOLD ACTIVITY STOPS

A model is proposed for household-stop generation and organization and is applied to examine household-shopping stop-making behavior using a Boston-area household travel survey. The model accommodates the original, discrete nature of stop-making and incorporates a comprehensive, policy-sensitive measure of accessibility. Empirical results provide useful insights into the effect of household characteristics and accessibility to shopping opportunities on shopping-stop behavior. The application of the model is demonstrated by examining the effect of an increase in highway costs and changes in land use patterns on shopping-stop generation and organization.
