Progress In Activity-based Analysis

In recent years, transportation research has seen a gradual shift from trip-based, via tour-based to activity-based models, in an effort to capture the true complexity of travel behaviour.

This volume reflects an eventful decade of development and application of activity-based models. In three extensive sections, it:

-reviews a range of approaches to incorporating increased complexity in models;
-discusses how to obtain the rich data necessary to support complex models;
-and reports on real applications in action.

Essential reading for any researcher or practitioner wishing to keep abreast of this key area of transportation research.
