Travel Demand 2008

TRB’s Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2076 includes 23 papers that explore policy effects on travel demand decisions under uncertain conditions, impact of route choice set on route choice probabilities, a classification model for modeling adaptive route choice, joint models of home-based tour mode and destination choices in a developing country, integrating household-level mode choice and modal expenditure decisions in a developing country, and integration of activity-based modeling and dynamic traffic assignment.  This issue of the TRR: Journal also examines a joint modeling analysis of trip-chaining behavior on round-trip commutes, integrated analysis of toll lanes and bus priority lanes, social context of activity scheduling, time-of-day modeling in a tour-based context, comparison of vehicle-ownership models, freeway access to public transport, how far and with whom people socialize, modeling daily activity-travel tour patterns, and the factor of revisited path size.  In addition, this journal highlights travel model choice modeling with support vector machines; nonlinear, secondary impacts of large urban-edge developments as evidence of path dependency; integrated transportation land use models; population updating system structures and models embedded in the comprehensive econometric microsimulator; influence of transportation access and market dynamics on property values; integrated transportation and land use scenario modeling by visual evaluation of examples; time-of-day choice modeling for long-distance trips; and a toll demand model.
