Simulating intra-household interactions for in- and out-of-home activity scheduling

Michel Bierlaire, Timothy Michael Hillel, Negar Rezvany

Various interactions, time arrangements, and constraints exist for individuals scheduling their day as a member of a household, which affect their in-home as well as out-of-home activity schedule. However, the existing activity-based models are mostly base ...

OASIS: Optimisation-based Activity Scheduling with Integrated Simultaneous choice dimensions

Michel Bierlaire, Timothy Michael Hillel, Janody Pougala

Activity-based models offer the potential of a far deeper understanding of daily mobility behaviour than trip-based models. However, activity-based models used both in research and practice have often relied on applying sequential choice models between sub ...

Capturing trade-offs between daily scheduling choices

Michel Bierlaire, Timothy Michael Hillel, Janody Pougala

We propose a new modelling approach for daily activity scheduling which integrates the different daily scheduling choice dimensions (activity participation, location, schedule, duration and transportation mode) into a single optimisation problem. The funda ...

A utility optimization-based framework for joint in- and out-of-home scheduling

Michel Bierlaire, Timothy Michael Hillel, Negar Rezvany

Existing activity-based modeling predominantly focus on out-of-home activities in order to un- derstand transport demand. In this research, we extend the state of practice in activity-based modelling by determining both in- and out-of-home activities in a ...

Representing location choice within activity-based models

Michel Bierlaire, Timothy Michael Hillel, Janody Pougala, Nicolas Jean Salvadé

Since the 70s, there has been a growing interest in activity-based modelling. This approach models the need to travel as a result of performing daily activities (Bowman and Ben-Akiva, 2001). Nevertheless, the activities need to be scheduled which involves ...

Estimating flexibility preferences to resolve temporal scheduling conflicts in activity-based modelling

Michel Bierlaire, Timothy Michael Hillel, Janody Pougala

This paper presents a novel activity-based demand model that combines an optimisation framework for continuous temporal scheduling decisions (i.e. activity timings and durations) with traditional discrete choice models for non-temporal choice dimensions (i ...

A systematic review of machine learning classification methodologies for modelling passenger mode choice

Michel Bierlaire, Timothy Michael Hillel, Ying Jin

Machine Learning (ML) approaches are increasingly being investigated as an alternative to Random Utility Models (RUMs) for modelling passenger mode choice. These approaches have the potential to provide valuable insights into choice modelling research ques ...

Assisted specification of discrete choice models

Michel Bierlaire, Timothy Michael Hillel, Nicola Marco Ortelli

Determining appropriate utility specifications for discrete choice models is time-consuming and prone to errors. With the availability of larger and larger datasets, as the number of possible specifications exponentially grows with the number of variables ...
