Calibrating activity-based travel demand model system via microsimulation
This thesis addresses the problem of calibrating activity-based travel demand model systems. After estimation, it is common practice to use aggregate measurements to calibrate the estimated model system's parameters. However, calibration of activity-based model systems has received much less …

An assessment tool for the appropriateness of activity-based travel demand models
… organizations are considering or implementing activity-based travel demand models to forecast future travel patterns. The proclivity towards operating activity-based models is the capability to model disaggregate travel data to better understand the model results that are generated with respect …

Towards comfortable and walkable cities : spatially resolved outdoor thermal comfort analysis linked to travel survey-based human activity schedules
… With the continuous integration of computer-based decision support systems in design processes, there is a need for developing simulation frameworks that aid architects, urban designers and planners in making informed sustainable design decisions. The focus of this work, therefore, is the …

Analysis of Social Equity in Transportation in Washington DC Region Considering Sea Level Rise Using Advanced Travel Demand Models
… the use of a large-scale, high-fidelity agent-based, activity-based travel demand model to produce travel times to employment centers. This travel time is used as a proxy to access to opportunities. The results are visualized in a GIS heatmap. The model is applied to the Metropolitan Washington …

A needs-based approach to activity generation for travel demand analysis/
This thesis develops a needs-based framework for behavioral enhancement of conventional activity-based travel demand models. Operational activity-based models specify activity generation models based on empirical considerations which are weakly founded in a behavioral theory. This thesis aims to …

Developing an Agent-based Integrated Framework for Investigating the Potential Expansion and Impact of the Electric Vehicle Market: Test Cases in Two Chinese Cities
… sub-systems. This project develops an agent-based integrated framework for investigating how the EV market expands in the context of urban evolution at the micro scale, and assessing the potential impacts of the market expansion on the environment, power grid system and transport facilities, …

Developing advanced econometric frameworks for modeling multidimensional choices : an application to integrated land-use activity based model framework
… to contribute to the growing literature on the activity-based framework by focusing on the modeling of choices that are influenced by land-use and travel environment attributes. An accurate characterization of activity-travel patterns requires explicit consideration of the land-use and travel …

Simulation-based optimisation of public transport networks
… like passengers and operators. Simulation-based Optimisation (SBO) is a discipline that solves optimisation problems by combining simulation and optimisation models. The former is used to evaluate the alternative solutions, while the latter searches for the optimal solution among them. A …
