Abstract
--> Using Herfindahl-Hirschman Index and the Mobidrive and Thurgau six-week travel diary datasets this paper examines the stability of individuals’ choices of their daily activity-travel-location combinations within multi-day period. The results show that the stability of individual activity-travel-mode-location combinations is highly influenced by the individuals’ out-of-home commitments, the intra-household conditions and the availability and the accessibility of the activity locations. Different type of activity gives different pattern of stability. The stability of individual’s daily activity-travel pattern is less correlated to the travel mode choice, but more to the individuals’ commitments and obligations. The stability of mode choices is more related to the conditions or the accessibilities of the location of the activity, but not directly to the activity itself. Show more
