Exploratory Analysis of Intra-household Joint Activity Tours: A Case Study of Metropolitan Cities in Indonesia

The analysis of intra-household joint activity/travel is an important element of activity-based travel demand modeling. These are joint trips/tours made by two or more members of the same household performing activities together. This paper presents an empirical analysis of weekday and weekend joint travel tours in a developing country, especially focusing on weekday travel data and comparing the results of two surveys, namely, a large-scale household travel survey and an activity diary survey conducted in the two metropolitan cities of Indonesia, namely, Jakarta and Surabaya. Joint tours were analyzed in terms of their travel mode, activity type, and household members involved. Comparison of weekday travel data from the two surveys suggests that both surveys show similar tendencies regarding the ratio of joint tours for different modes and activity types. However, the number of persons per joint tour as well as the joint tour ratio itself is larger in the activity diary dataset in the case of Jakarta, probably because it captures more shorter-distance travels/activities which tend to be overlooked in the household travel survey. Furthermore, it was shown that Sunday joint activities have by far the largest joint tour ratio for all modes, while weekdays have larger number of activities than weekends. In addition, unlike observations in developed countries, Jakarta and Surabaya datasets have a considerable number of joint tours of which activities are categorized as mandatory. Moreover, international comparison between the US and Jakarta cases revealed some distinguishable characteristics mainly caused by differences in mode shares and household characteristics. The result of this study was one of the important bases for conducting an activity-based travel behavior analysis for metropolitan areas of Indonesia.
