A COMPETING RISK MODEL OF ACTIVITY DURATION, CHOICE AND TIMING FOR THE EVALUATION OF TIME POLICIES

EEN COMPETING RISK HAZARD MODEL VAN DE DUUR, KEUZE EN TIMING VAN ACTIVITEITEN VOOR DE EVALUATIE VAN TIJDSBELEID

This paper presents a competing risk hazard model of individuals' activity choice, timing, duration and destination choice that can serve as an evaluation tool for time policies. The model was calibrated based on observed activity and trip patters. The estimation results suggest that in addition to characteristics of activities temporal constraints and the spatial setting have a significant impact on the duration timing and choice of activities and trips. Consequently, the model can serve to evaluate policies that affect the spatio-temporal circumstances in which travel and activities take place. Two examples of the model application are presented. In these examples the effects of differences in opening hours of shopping centres and in journey time are quantified. For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 887581.
