Book MICROSIMULATION OF ACTIVITY PARTICIPATION TOUR COMPLEXITY AND MODE CHOICE WITHIN AN ACTIVITY BASED TRAVEL DEMAND MODEL SYSTEM

Download or read book MICROSIMULATION OF ACTIVITY PARTICIPATION TOUR COMPLEXITY AND MODE CHOICE WITHIN AN ACTIVITY BASED TRAVEL DEMAND MODEL SYSTEM written by Naznin Sultana Daisy and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past few decades, trip-based travel demand approaches have been replaced by activity-based microsimulation travel demand techniques, which are able to capture the latent demand for activity participation, interdependency among trips, and household interactions. Activity-based models consider trips as a derived demand which arise from activity engagement behavior. This research aims to depict the daily activity-travel behavior of travelers as a result of choice decision making processes through the development of the Scheduler for Activities, Locations, and Travel (SALT) microsimulation travel demand model. The SALT model is comprised of five main components: population synthesis, time-use activity pattern recognition, tour mode choice, activity destination choice, and activity/trip scheduling. A series of advanced econometric micro-behavioral modules are developed to model behavioral mechanisms of different population groups in the region. An under-recognized issue in most of the econometric activity-based models is that they treat all out-of-home travelers, whether workers or non-workers, as undifferentiated groups, decreasing the ability to predict activity-travel decisions. To this end, an advanced disaggregated modeling framework is developed that can derive separate utility functions for both in-home and out-of-home activities for travelers with heterogeneous daily-activity patterns, along with simulation of correlation matrices. Additionally, a cluster-based technique is developed to model trip chaining, tour complexity, and tour mode choice of worker and non-worker clusters. These models capture associations between socio-demographics characteristics, trip attributes, and land use patterns in order to predict travel tour incidence and type, and mode choice. For empirical analysis of activity-travel behavior this study employs data from the large Halifax Space Time Activity Research (STAR) household time-use and travel survey, which consists of GPS-verified data for 2,778 person-days. This study also contributes by designing and conducting the first Canadian university-based travel-diary survey (EnACT), to better understand activity-travel patterns and trip making frequencies of university commuters. In addition, a synthetic pseudo-panel modeling framework is developed to explore the longitudinal activity-travel behavior of urbanities. In summary, the disaggregated modeling framework presented in this study is useful for deeper understanding of individuals' activity-travel decisions, and may be operationalized to examine sensitive policy issues such as transportation control measures and congestion-pricing.

Book Modelling and Microsimulation of Activity Generation Activity Scheduling and Mobility Assignment

Download or read book Modelling and Microsimulation of Activity Generation Activity Scheduling and Mobility Assignment written by Nazmul Arefin Khan and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis develops a novel framework for modelling and microsimulation of activity-based travel demand. It explores alternative micro-behavioural modelling methods for individuals' activity participation, time allocation, shared travel choice, mode choice and vehicle allocation. For example, mixed logit models of shared travel choices are developed that accommodate individuals' social interactions with household and non-household members while travelling to different activity-based tours. A multiple discrete continuous extreme value model is formulated, which addresses individuals' social interactions within the modelling framework to explore the joint decision of activity participation and time allocation. Latent segmentation-based random parameter logit models are developed to evaluate vehicle allocation decisions for different activity-based tours. This thesis also presents the development of a novel activity-based shorter-term decisions simulator (SDS) to predict activity and travel decisions. SDS consists of three sub-modules: activity generation, activity scheduling and mobility assignment, which are developed by implementing different components, namely activity types, frequencies, durations, start times, destination locations, shared travel arrangements, mode choice and vehicle allocation. The model addresses underlying process mechanisms of such components within the microsimulation framework by developing advanced modelling techniques. For instance, activity generation implements a Markov Chain Monte Carlo method to represent the process orientation of generating activity types. Activity scheduling is implemented as a three-stage decision process: activity agenda formation, destination location choice and shared travel choice, and accommodates social interaction-based feedback from shared travel choice component within the computational procedure. Furthermore, mobility assignment is a two-stage dynamic process of mode choice and vehicle allocation that addresses social interactions within empirical and computational procedures. SDS generates baseline information for the year 2006, and simulates activity and travel decisions for a 30-year period of 2007-2036. This thesis presents the validation of the SDS model results, and predicts the evolution of activity-travel information of Halifax population. SDS is implemented within the integrated urban model, iTLE, and provides activity-based feedbacks to households' long-term residential decisions; thus, develops an integrated and behaviourally consistent urban modelling system. The SDS microsimulation model would be helpful to test different emerging travel demand management strategies as well as alternative land use and transportation policy interventions.
