Abstract
There is growing interest among the travel behavior community in activity scheduling and rescheduling behavior. This paper reports an analysis of activity modification behavior using extensive data for activity scheduling and rescheduling collected from a recent survey. Models that are developed describe the frequency and type of schedule modification. The analysis indicates that activity location and coscheduling with peers were much less frequently modified than activity timing and duration and that the degree of spatial flexibility of an activity plays an important role. The implications of these findings both for the modeling of scheduling and rescheduling behavior and for the development of scheduling support tools are discussed.

The results show that the computer-based survey design was successful in gathering an array of information on the underlying process, while minimizing the burden on respondents, and was capable of tracing traditionally observed activity-travel outcomes over a multi-day period with minimal fatigue effects.

The proposed model framework specifies required components of learning systems including a reward function, incremental action value functions, and action selection methods and incorporates an incremental induction method that identifies relevant states based on reward distributions received in the past.

An operational model of household activity scheduling is proposed, based on a theory entailing behavioral principles of how persons acquire, represent, and use information from and about the environment.

Overall, although the survey was generally successful in tracking both observed patterns and underlying decision processes over a multiday period within a household, it did come at a price in terms of respondent burden.
TransportationThe role of anticipated time pressure in activity scheduling
66 Citations1999Tommy Gärling, Robert Gillholm +1 more
It is proposed that anticipated time pressure increases the likelihood of two types of planning, one short-term and the other long-term encompassing different strategies for eliminating or deferring activities.
THE INFLUENCE OF ALTERNATIVE TRAVELLER LEARNING MECHANISMS ON THE DYNAMICS OF TRANSPORT SYSTEMS

The objective of this paper is to investigate the influence of a range of different learning mechanisms on the dynamics of transport systems in the context of stochastic traffic assignment, which provides a natural framework for investigating day-to-day learning processes.

14 Citations2004TA Theo Arentze, Hjp Harry Timmermans
A Bayesian framework for modelling dynamic activity-travel choice under conditions of uncertainty and learning is described, based on the assumption that individuals' perceptions of uncertainty are represented as probability distributions across possible states of the (transport) system.
