ABSTRACT

Despite the clear theoretical advantages of activity-based models of travel behaviour relative to trip-based models, adoption of such models in planning practice has been slow. This editorial discusses some reasons underlying this fact, including “locking into” outmoded model structures and software and challenges in translating research advances into practice. It argues for more widespread adoption of an activity-scheduling approach to the problem and identifies a number of key areas requiring new research in order to improve the operational capabilities of these models.

基于活动的出行需求建模的现状和一些可能的后续步骤

摘要

尽管相对于基于出行的模型，基于活动的出行行为模型具有明显的理论优势，但此类模型在规划实践中的采用进展缓慢。这篇社论讨论了这一事实背后的一些原因，包括“锁定”过时的模型结构和软件以及将研究进展转化为实践的挑战。它主张更广泛地采用活动调度方法来解决该问题，并确定了一些需要新研究的关键领域，以提高这些模型的操作能力。
