TL;DR
The results from a multivariate probit model show that several characteristics of the planned schedule and planned activities are most important in explaining the decisions made during the scheduling process.
Abstract
This paper focuses on studying the incidence of different types of activity-scheduling decisions, using data from a computerized activity-scheduling survey (CHASE) conducted in Toronto, Canada. Several decisions are studied: with whom the activity takes place, location of the activity, the time planning horizon, and modification or deletion of activities during the scheduling process. The results from a multivariate probit model show that several characteristics of the planned schedule and planned activities are most important in explaining the decisions made during the scheduling process. Individual and household characteristics also play an important role. Significant correlations among the planning decisions suggest that the process of activity scheduling occurs with a high degree of endogeneity.

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.

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.
