The primary role of a transportation system is to provide people and businesses with access other so that they can physically engage in spatially temporally distributed...
The Toronto Area Scheduling Model for Household Agents (TASHA), a new prototype activity scheduling microsimulation model, generates schedules and travel patterns 24-h typical weekday all persons in household. model is based solely on conventional trip diary data therefore applicable many urban areas where may not be available. makes use of the concept project, "container" activities with common goal, to organize episodes into A heuristic, or rule-based, method used projects then form...
This paper presents a data collection effort designed to incorporate the social dimension in activity-travel behavior by explicitly studying link between individuals' activities and their networks. The main hypothesis of is that travel conditional upon networks; is, key cause represented With this mind, using survey interview instruments, respondents' networks are collected an egocentric approach constituted interplay individual structures activity behavior. More explicitly, context within...
The unsustainable nature of current urban transportation and land use is well recognized. What less clear the prescription for how to move towards a more sustainable future, especially given many interest groups involved, complexity systems fragmented decision‐making in most regions. It argued that process achieving requires suitable establishment four pillars: effective governance transportation; fair, efficient, stable funding; strategic infrastructure investments; attention neighbourhood...
Hägerstrand's seminal argument that regional science is about people and not just locations still a compelling challenging idea when the spatial distribution of activities studied. In context social activity–travel behavior (hosting visiting), this issue particularly fundamental as individuals’ main motivation in making trips mostly with whom they interact rather than where go. A useful approach to incorporate travelers’ study explicitly their networks, focusing on emerging from contacts,...
Microsimulation is becoming more popular in transportation research. This research explores the potential of microsimulation by integrating an existing activity-based travel demand model, TASHA, with a dynamic agent-based traffic simulation MATSim. Differences model precisions from two models are resolved through series data conversions, and able to form iterative process similar previous modeling frameworks using TASHA static assignment Emme/2. The resulting then used for light-duty vehicle...
To capture the complex relationships between transportation and land use, researchers practitioners are increasingly using place-based measures of accessibility to support a broad range planning goals. This research reviews state-of-the-art in applied measurement performs comparative evaluation software tools for calculating by walking public transit including ArcGIS Pro, Emme, R5R, OpenTripPlanner R Python, among others. Using case study Toronto, we specify both origin-based regional-scale...
Despite the clear theoretical advantages of activity-based models travel behaviour relative to trip-based models, adoption such in planning practice has been slow. This editorial discusses some reasons underlying this fact, including "locking into" outmoded model structures and software challenges translating research advances into practice. It argues for more widespread an activity-scheduling approach problem identifies a number key areas requiring new order improve operational capabilities...
Some empirical findings are presented on the relationship between urban form and work trip commuting efficiency, drawn from analysis of 1986 patterns in greater Toronto area. Work efficiency is measured with respect to average number vehicle kilometers traveled (VKT) per worker a given zone. Preliminary include VKT increases as one moves away both central core city other high-density employment centers within region; job-housing balance, se, shows little impact VKT; population density,...
