This paper describes the development of an operational prototype of a microsimulation model of household travel, responsive to alternative transport networks, land use patterns and densities, and socio-economic characteristics of individuals, with the focus on a detailed discussion on the key sub-model of an ‘Activity Travel Simulator’. The model is being tailored for use in multimodal urban transport corridors, with the study area focusing on the northwest metropolitan corridor of Adelaide in South Australia. The primary objective of the model is to be able to provide estimates of the likely usage of different travel modes, with an emphasis on including features that can determine the likelihood of people using public transport and non-motorised modes, in particular where the incorporation of alternative land use patterns supportive of such modes is envisaged. A small example of an application is given to demonstrate the capability and flexibility of the model. (a) For the covering entry of this conference, please see ITRD abstract no. E213716.
