European Association of Activity-Based Modeling
What are activity-based models
“Activity-based models are based on the principle that travel demand is derived from people’s daily activity patterns. Activity-based models predict which activities are conducted when, where, for how long, for and with whom, and the travel choices they will make to complete them. Having this type of detailed model at their disposal allows researchers, practitioners, and policy makers to evaluate the effect of alternative policies on individuals travel behavior at a high level of temporal and spatial resolution and select the best policy alternative considering a potential wide range of performance indicators.” (Source: tfresource.org)
Why EAABM
Activity-based modelling approaches are better suited to address existing transport challenges and shape the future of mobility,
Despite the robust scientific foundation and the availability of software tools to implement activity-based models, these approaches are rarely established in European planning practice.
