Short Distance Travel Model • Forecasts the person movements arising from household production and consumption of economic activities and labor. • Entirely based on probabilistic models. • Fully micro-simulated – the models are applied to each individual in the population. • Forecast daily activity patterns, tours and trips: • Residents only • Travel within 50 miles of home – except Work • Exclude business travel
Selects an activity pattern for each person in the population. Activity patterns are sequences of activities. Activity patterns consist of tours: Home-based Work-based Observed in the home interview surveys Daily Activity Pattern Model
Activity Pattern Model – Tour Composition Rules work tour shop tour rec. tour
Daily Activity Pattern Model - Simplifications • Tours always start and end at home, or start and end at work
Activity Pattern Model - Simplifications • Home-Based Tours consist of one primary destination and at most one intermediate stop per half-tour. 90% fit the simplified pattern exactly.
Activity Pattern Model - Simplifications • Work-Based Tours have no intermediate stops. 85% fit the simplified pattern exactly.
Choices are generalized patterns: Ignore purpose of intermediate stops if pattern has 2+ tours Ignore presence of intermediate stops if pattern has 3+ tours Submodels select purpose and number of stops if pattern was generalized Daily Activity Pattern Model - Structure END RESULT: PATTERN DISTRIBUTION IN FORECAST POPULATION SAME AS OBSERVED IN SURVEYS
Daily Activity Pattern Model - Structure • Explanatory variables: • Activity-related: • Number and purpose of activities • Sequence of tours and/or activities • Number and purpose of tours • Number, purpose, presence/absence of intermediate stops • Traveler-related: • Age and gender • Household size, number of workers, income, presence and age of children • Transport-related: • Home to work distance (worker & college student models only) • Destination choice logsum by purpose
Daily Activity Pattern Model – Calibration Patterns by Number of Tours per Pattern
Daily Activity Pattern Model - Calibration Number of Tours by Tour Purpose B – tour includes a work-based subtour
Daily Activity Pattern Model - Calibration Number of Trips by Tour Purpose B – tour includes a work-based subtour
Tour Scheduling Model • Selects the departure time and duration of home-based tours • Multinomial logit, segmented by tour purpose • One hour resolution • Choice set consists of (departure time, arrival time) combinations – 190 total time windows
Tour Scheduling Model • Uses the tour purpose hierarchy and day-pattern sequence to determine time window (choice) availability. • Utility function consists of departure time and duration continuous shift variables, and departure time and duration constants: • Sensitive to: • Day-pattern composition effects • Traveler effects • Transport effects
Intermediate Stop Location Model • Selects the location of intermediate stops on tours • Multinomial logit • Choice set is a function of tour mode • Segmented by tour purpose • Utility function similar to destination choice model, • But structured to minimize ‘out of direction’ travel time
Intermediate Stop Duration Model • Selects the duration of intermediate stops • Multinomial logit • Segmented by tour purpose • Choice set: • One hour resolution • Constrained by tour duration • Sensitive to: • Deviation distance • Stop position (inbound/outbound) • Day pattern composition • Tour schedule
