A CONCEPTUAL AND METHODOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK FOR THE GENERATION OF ACTIVITY-TRAVEL PATTERNS

This paper develops a conceptual framework for the generation of activity and travel patterns in the context of more general structures and presents an integrated model system as a step toward development of an improved travel demand forecasting model system. The authors propose a 2-stage structure to model activity and travel behavior. The 1st stage, the stop generation and stop/auto allocation models, consists of the choices for the number of household maintenance stops and the allocation of stops and autos to household members. The 2nd stage, the tour formation model, includes the choices for the number of tours and the assignment of stops to tours for each individual, conditional on the choices in the 1st stage. Empirical results demonstrate that individual and household sociodemographics are important factors affecting the 1st stage choices, the generation of maintenance stops, and the allocation of stops and autos among household members, and the 2nd stage choices, the number of tours, and the assignment of stops to tours.
