Household travel behavior entails interdependent deliberate decisions, as well as the execution of routines not preceded by deliberate decisions. Furthermore, travel decisions are dependent on choices to participate in activities. Because of the complexity of the decision-making process in which...

Models of households' travel choices are an important focus of research. For some time it has been realized that such models need to incorporate how travel depends on activity choices. It is argued that production system models constitute an alternative or necessary complementary approach if the...

Travel behavior entails several interrelated decisions made by people, as well as the execution of routines not preceded by deliberate decisions. Furthermore, travel decisions are dependent on choices to participate in activities. After a brief review of research aiming at describing...

The objective of this paper is to review object-oriented (OO) approaches to data modeling and data handling and their usefulness in transportation planning and modeling in general and Intelligent Transportation Systems in particular. The paper begins with a discussion of the current GIS data...

The objective of the paper is to discuss the development of an alternative representation of the transportation network using object-oriented GIS. This representation is important for the supply side of transportation planning and modeling. Object-orientation provides a way of solving the...

Transportation planning has been turning away from the solutions of building highways and transit routes to changing people's travel choices and making more efficient use of existing facilities. With the recent research focus on Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS), it is imperative to...

The successful development of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) depends on the capability of incorporating a vast amount of information about the location of facilities which generate travel as well as a realistic representation of elements of the transportation network in which travel...

In this paper we review attempts to develop CPM of individual travel behavior. CPM represent a linked set of computer programs together with appropriate databases which are designed to capture the essence of human decision making in different spatial situations. Used primarily for wayfinding and...

Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) under the intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems (IVHS) context require efficient information retrieval and updating in a dynamic environment and at different geographical scales. Some problems in ATIS can be solved based on the functionalities provided...

Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems (IVHS), which aim at the utilization of advanced information processing and communication technologies for improving travel efficiency and safety, have become an important policy measure in recent years. One of their major components, Advanced Traveler...
