A subarea analysis capability is needed in conjunction with dynamic network analysis models to allow consideration and rapid evaluation of a large number of scenarios and support transportation network planning and operations decisions for situations that may not require analysis on a complete network representation. Focusing on how to provide an up-to-date time-dependent OD demand matrix for t...

The problem of estimating origin-destination travel demands from partial observations of traffic conditions has often been formulated as a network design problem (NDP) with a bi-level structure. The upper level problem in such a formulation minimizes a distance metric between measured and estimated traffic conditions, and the lower level enforces user-equilibrium traffic conditions in the netwo...

A Household Travel Survey (HTS) is a valuable instrument for collecting data suitable for studying the travel behaviour of a sample of households in a specific geographical context. One important output from the trip data after expansion to the population is a set of origin-destination (O-D) trip matrices for combinations of trip purpose, time of day and mode of transport. However, the O-D matr...

multi-part words in english language are hyphenated and hyphen is used to separate different parts. persian language consists of multi-part words as well. based on persian morphology, half-space character is needed to separate parts of multi-part words where in many cases people incorrectly use space character instead of half-space character. this common incorrectly use of space leads to some s...

search behavior and the use of the Internet for trip planning as well as the formation of a first impression toward destination Web sites provided by state tourism offices in the United States. The research methods and the findings of this study are then presented. The final section of the article concludes by discussing the theoretical and practical implications for further development of dest...

This paper reports an explanatory study of using Google Map API to develop two destinationspecific tourist information tools: a handheld tour guide and an online trip planner for Charleston, South Carolina, USA. The background, development, functionality, and adoption issues were discussed. The handheld tour guide is based on mobile phones with a GPS antenna to communicate with Google Map and d...

The purpose of this study is to determine whether there are differences among visitors to a destination based on their golfing frequency in the previous year. In this study, profiles of golfers to a destination, based on their golfing frequency, are created. By constructing a framework for understanding the golf traveller, golf and tourism industry representatives can better understand the cont...
