ACTIVITY-BASED TRAVEL BEHAVIOUR MODELING IN A MICROSIMULATION FRAMEWORK. IN: IN PERPETUAL MOTION: TRAVEL BEHAVIOR RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES AND APPLICATION CHALLENGES

Microsimulation as a method for implementing activity-based travel behavior models for forecasting and policy analysis purposes is receiving ever-increasing attention, as shown by the number of workshops presented at recent conferences. Many current efforts to implement activity-based forecasting systems are microsimulation-based, while most activity-based models are well suited for implementation within some form of microsimulator. Further, the emerging next generation of network assignment models are themselves microsimulation-based, implying the need for a similar level/method of analysis for the activity models which feed into these network models. The aim of this book chapter is to raise what the authors believe are some of the major research issues associated with the further development and implementation of activity-based microsimulation models.
