Developments in methodology and applications in travel behaviour
research continue to diversify to capture the growing complexity of
human travel activity and coping strategies. The random utility
theory (RUM) paradigm on which many econometric and empirical
studies have been based since the mid-1970's has been challenged by
the bounded utility maximisation or satisficing paradigm. More
recently, the rules-based paradigm from psychology has attracted
considerable interest and shows signs of offering a serious
'alternative' paradigm to RUM.
This book highlights the competition between these ideas and shows
how the rules-based paradigm has opened up opportunities to reflect
the activity-based decision-making process. In six specially
commissioned resource papers - including one by Nobel laureate
Daniel McFadden - it describes the state of the art in travel
behaviour research, from the fundamentals of data collection to the
frontiers of e-commerce. The next 14 chapters then set out a series
of research directions for ongoing inquiry. Thirty-three further
chapters then offer detailed leading edge contributions within
seven themes: methodological developments in choice analysis;
longitudinal perspectives in choice modelling; incorporating
schedules, uncertainty and reliability; challenges facing
micro-simulation; integrated transport planning models; driver
information and route choice; and data structures.
Based on research presented at the Ninth International Conference
of the International Association for Travel Behaviour Research
(IATBR), this volume captures major developments in the field since
the publication of the last IATBR volume in 1998, and will
therefore be of value toall researchers and practitioners needing
to keep abreast of current work on travel behaviour.
