Abstract

A desirable activity-based travel demand modeling framework should be able to address both weekday and weekend activities. However, a literature review shows previous research efforts have mostly focused on investigating weekday activities. Little or no research exists to quantify the differences between weekend and weekday activities. The best knowledge to date is limited to weekday and weekend activities starting at different time of the day and with different participation rates. This study aims to fill the gap by studying the differences between weekday and weekend activities in Calgary, Canada, in terms of their participation rates, starting time, duration and inferred location choices. This study clearly shows the weekend activities are different from their weekday counterparts and suggests that they should be treated separately in activity-based modeling frameworks.
