An activity-based micro-simulation model of daily travel and a dynamic network simulator are integrated to form a model system for travel demand forecasting. The model system is applied in this study to evaluate the effectiveness of selected TDM measures for CO2 emissions reduction in the City of Kyoto. The results demonstrate the practicality of the micro-simulation approach in travel demand f...

The authors argue that travel forecasting models should be dynamic and disaggregate in their representation of demand, supply, and supply-demand interactions, and propose a framework for such models. The proposed framework consists of disaggregate activity-based representation of travel choices of individual motorists on the demand side integrated with disaggregate dynamic modeling of network p...

Abstract The planning of on-demand services requires the formation vehicle schedules consisting service trips and empty trips. This paper presents an algorithm for building that uses time-dependent demand matrices (= trips) as input determines trip number required vehicles a result. presented approach is intended long-term, strategic transport planning. For this purpose, it provides planners wi...

16. Abstract Research on travel-demand modeling has predominantly focused on weekday activity-travel patterns, with the study of the effects of commute travel on peak period traffic congestion as a major objective. In contrast, there have been few studies examining the weekend activity-travel behavior of individuals. However, weekend travel volume has been increasing over time and is comparable...

International travel and tourism are among the most dynamic sectors in the modern economy. The phenomenal growth in international tourist arrivals has significantly outpaced global economic growth over the previous five decades, with particularly strong growth in the Asia and Pacific regions. Among other factors, changes in aircraft technology, economic prosperity and international air service ...

Introducing electric vehicles (EVs) into urban transportation network brings higher requirement on travel time reliability and charging reliability. Specifically, it is believed that travel time reliability is a key factor influencing travelers' route choice. Meanwhile, due to the limited cruising range, EV drivers need to better learn about the required energy for the whole trip to make decisi...

An analysis was conducted to examine the market visibility of small aircraft as a transportation mode in competition with automobile and scheduled commercial air travel by estimating the pool of users that would potentially switch on-demand air travel due to cost/time saving. These new aircraft greatly increase the practicality of regional aircraft as a transportation mode that can avoid the co...
