Evaluation of Time Allocation to Travel and Other Activities Through Time-Use Analysis

Abstract

Better understanding of urban travel behaviour would enable analysis of model as well as formulation of strategies in managing urban travel. Till date, focus has been on estimation of travel demand utilising trip as unit of analysis. The conventional trip records, which have been used to develop transportation-planning models, are not able to assess the impact of transportation planning on urban resident's quality of life. Hence, data to be used in analysis must contain information not only on trips but also on distribution of activities. An attempt has been made aspects of activities and correlate them with trip making throught hitsh ep aappeprl ictaot iounn doefr sttiamned uthsee tceomncpeoprta. l Travel duration was regressed against activity duration and activity frequency for different segments of population. Logit models were calibrated to understand the behaviour of people in allocating time to different activities on a normal working day.
