Experimental tour-based travel demand models

Experimental tour-based travel demand models

In this paper some experimental sequential models for the simulation of trip-chains are presented; the models have been calibrated on the base of a survey made in a medium-sized town. This work is part of a research, effected by the Department of Regional Planning of the University of Calabria, to forecast travel demand and to analyse travel behaviour of the transport system users. (Festa et al...

Random Utility-Based Discrete Choice Models for Travel Demand Analysis

On-Tour Interactive Travel Recommendations

Travelers who access the Internet through currently available web information systems often experience difficulty in selecting interesting products. This is especially true for on-the-move travelers who browse information repositories using mobile devices with poor user interfaces. Travelers suffer from an overload of information and options to consider, and they lack system support in filterin...

Activity Based Travel Demand Model Systems

Stated simply, the motivation for activity based travel demand modeling is that travel decisions are activity based. Concerns about congestion, emissions and land use patterns have lead governments to consider policies aimed to aaect travel decisions. Examples of policies include employer based commute programs, single occupant vehicle regulation, road pricing, multimodal facilities and transit...

Activity-based Modeling of Travel Demand

Since the beginning of civilization, the viability and economic success of communities have been, to a major extent, determined by the efficiency of the transportation infrastructure. To make informed transportation infrastructure planning decisions, planners and engineers have to be able to forecast the response of transportation demand to changes in the attributes of the transportation system...
