Title:

Empirical Case Study of Student Travel Demand Based on Spatial-Temporal Activity Population

Accession Number:

Record Type:

Component

Abstract:

This study uses the spatial-temporal activity population approach to estimate and validate hourly travel demand for individual buildings. A case study models the spatial-temporal activity for students at North Carolina State University, and a field survey validates estimates of student in-and-out building trips for dynamic, time varying "Class/Study" activities. The activity-based student trip estimates are compared to estimates by conventional trip generation methods. Results show that the spatial-temporal activity approach provides more reliable estimates of travel demand compared to the conventional approach. This empirical case study should improve acceptance of the spatial-temporal activity procedure for activity travel demand and demonstrate its value for other planning applications.
