Tour Based Models
oIn the model, tour decisions are conditioned, or constrained, by the choice
of activity pattern.
oThis is based on the notion that some decisions about the basic agenda and
pattern of the day’s activities take precedence over details of the travel
decisions.
oThe probability of a particular activity schedule is therefore expressed in
the model as the product of a marginal pattern probability and a
conditional tours probability
p(schedule) = p(pattern)*p(tour/pattern)
owhere
o the pattern probability is the probability of a particular activity pattern and
o the conditional tours probability is the probability of a particular set of tours, given
the choice of pattern.
