General Approach General Approach (valid for all models here)(valid for all models here)
We divide information and data into exogenous We divide information and data into exogenous and endogenousand endogenous
Endogenous are predicted within the model Endogenous are predicted within the model system we design (e.g., number of trips a person system we design (e.g., number of trips a person makes in a day)makes in a day)
Exogenous are given to us and we are not able Exogenous are given to us and we are not able to influence with our policies (e.g., World and to influence with our policies (e.g., World and National economy, fertility rates)National economy, fertility rates)
The distinction between exogenous and The distinction between exogenous and endogenous depends on the study/regional endogenous depends on the study/regional model development scope – the wider the model development scope – the wider the impacts we “cause” the more comprehensive impacts we “cause” the more comprehensive the model becomes and this increases the the model becomes and this increases the variables we need to “endogenize” variables we need to “endogenize”

Implied AssumptionsImplied Assumptions
Even when we do not explicitly define the Even when we do not explicitly define the background model, we implicitly follow background model, we implicitly follow some sort of conceptual model of societysome sort of conceptual model of society
Any type of hierarchy assumes Any type of hierarchy assumes predetermined entities or some kind of predetermined entities or some kind of causality – example from demographycausality – example from demography
The unit of analysis and level of The unit of analysis and level of aggregation also imply we assume the most aggregation also imply we assume the most important relations are at the level we use important relations are at the level we use – this will become clearer later in this class – this will become clearer later in this class

Long term – residence location, job location, schools for children
Medium term – driver’s license, car ownership
Yearly – public transportation pass/membership, vacation, enrolment in work related and recreational organized activities
Monthly – pay mortgage and what else ????
Weekly – some kinds of shopping, visiting family/friends
Daily – when to leave home, where to go, what transportation mode to use, with whom to do things

The changes in lifecycle and concomitant changes in time use allocation need to lifecycle and concomitant changes in time use allocation need to also be reflected in the forecasting system in a similar way as it is also be reflected in the forecasting system in a similar way as it is done in travel demand.done in travel demand.
Seasonal and day-of-the-week time use profiles:Seasonal and day-of-the-week time use profiles: Time use may Time use may change dramatically within a week (e.g., a weekday versus change dramatically within a week (e.g., a weekday versus weekend) but also based on seasons (e.g., consider the shopping weekend) but also based on seasons (e.g., consider the shopping and related activities people pursue during the period of and related activities people pursue during the period of Thanksgiving to Christmas in the U.S.). Models need to incorporate Thanksgiving to Christmas in the U.S.). Models need to incorporate these fluctuations if forecasting is to be done for these periods of these fluctuations if forecasting is to be done for these periods of time that are usually excluded from the traditional UTPS-like time that are usually excluded from the traditional UTPS-like procedures.procedures.
Long-term trends in time use:Long-term trends in time use: In addition to the usual source of In addition to the usual source of information for transportation models (e.g., models from data information for transportation models (e.g., models from data collected on a representative day or data spanning a few years), we collected on a representative day or data spanning a few years), we also need models that depict longer term trends. For example, to also need models that depict longer term trends. For example, to estimate models representing the changing roles and resulting time estimate models representing the changing roles and resulting time allocation between men and women and respective roles in society. allocation between men and women and respective roles in society.
