Simulation of Daily Activity Patterns

This paper presents a model simulating the daily activity patterns of individuals and their households. One of the important features of the model is its ability to simulate activities that can be conducted either alone or togetherr with others. As the models are based on activity participation and affect other features of the model, the interactions are essential. Cluster analysis is used to classify activity patterns. To consider both personal and household characteristic, the paper uses decision trees,
