This paper focuses on studying the incidence of different types of activity scheduling decisions, using data from a computerized activity scheduling survey (CHASE) conducted in Toronto, Canada. With whom, location, time planning horizon and modification or deletion of activities during the scheduling process, are studied. The results from a multivariate probit model show that several characteristics of the planned schedule and of the planned activities are most important in explaining the previous scheduling decisions. Individual and household characteristics also play an important role. Significant correlations among the planning decisions suggest that theprocess of activity scheduling occurs with a high degree of simultaneity.
