“We want to narrow the gap between the effort and risk required for adopting activity-based models and the perceived benefits.”

Former Head of Development at PTV Group

“Activity-based models are too powerful to only be applied in the transport community. Besides establishing pathways for practical transport applications, we want to highlight the interdisciplinary value of activity-based models also in energy and health.”

Director of Urban Systems Lab, Imperial College London

“We are faced with profound policy challenges, ranging from inequality in health and wellbeing to transport networks struggling to cope with demand and growing climate risk.

These policy challenges require data driven insights that challenge existing models and methods and activity based methods offer many advantages. They reframe human decision making in the context of the activities we seek to satisfy our needs and desires and are a powerful tool for policy makers making real-world decisions in ever more complex environments.

Ultimately, their usefulness is measured in how they enable better real-world practice.”

City Modelling Lab, Arup and Principal Research Fellow at CASA, UCL

“We need to improve the dissemination of knowledge and best practices on the successful development and implementation of activity-based models in real-world government project.

In addition, we should promote the availability and use of relevant data, emphasising the importance of data quality in modelling”

“To establish activity-based modelling in practice, we need to provide dedicated courses for university students and practitioners. In the teaching committee, we align forces to create the teaching-oriented knowledge base and to organise courses, summer schools, and workshops with the ultimate goal of fostering knowledge transfer.”
