Activity-Based Travel Demand Model

An Activity-Based Travel Demand Model is a tool used to understand and predict how people plan their daily activities and travel. It considers individual behaviors, such as working, shopping, or visiting friends, and how these activities influence when, where, and how they travel. By analyzing these patterns, planners can forecast transportation needs, improve infrastructure, and create policies that better serve community mobility. Unlike models that focus solely on trips, activity-based models capture the complex decision-making processes behind travel, leading to more accurate and effective transportation planning.
