Abstract:

This paper describes a modified approach to modeling an individual daily activity-travel pattern (DAP) coordinated at the household level. The model was primarily introduced to handle large households that are typical for the city of Jerusalem. However, the developed method proved useful in adding more behavioral aspects to the model. The study introduced daily modality and added the emphasis on modeling it for all household members simultaneously. It is of special practical value for Jerusalem since such population sectors as ultra-Orthodox Jewish and Arabs are characterized by a large share of persons who have an entire day of travel implemented in a non-motorized fashion. In addition to daily modality, this paper presents a simple but useful approach to understand at-home time-use. A binary choice model was formulated for the main reason of being inactive (working-at-home or other).The paper also discusses possible extensions of the current approach as well as alternative approaches to frame DAP type choice in the context of a complete activity-based travel model (ABM). In particular, this model can be easily extended in order to better address the joint nature of the choices using the Gibbs sampler. The paper discusses how DAP type choice can be framed in many ways and with different levels of detail subject to the ultimate model system design.
