Ben-Akiva, Moshe., John L. Bowman and Dinesh Gopinath. Proposes a comprehensive travel demand modeling framework to identify and model the urban development decisions of firms and developers and the mobility, activity and travel decisions of individuals and households. Presents an integrated activity based discrete choice model system of an individual's daily activity and travel schedule, intended for use in forecasting urban passenger travel demand. The system is demonstrated using data from the Boston metropolitan area. An examination of the theory underlying activity based travel forecasting models, and the classification of the differences among modeling approaches, provide a framework that is used to compare six important examples.
