Abstract:

This paper presents a hybrid discrete choice-duration model for work activity scheduling with interactions between workers in a multiple-worker household. The model operates in discrete space with a fine level of temporal resolution. Main innovative component relates to intra-household interactions that are expressed in coordination and synchronization mechanisms between the workers. The model was estimated based on a large Household Travel Survey in the San Francisco Bay Area. The estimation results confirmed strong intra-household interactions including synchronizations for outbound and inbound commute as well as creating overlaps of available time windows for joint activities before and after work. Relative strength of the synchronization mechanisms proved to be a function of the person characteristics and household composition.
