A tour-based microsimulation of household weekend travel behaviour is being developed using data collected from the roughly 1,400 households assigned a weekend survey day in a household activity survey conducted in the Calgary Region in 2001. This paper describes the work being done, including the design of the system, the estimation process for the choice models used to establish the sampling distributions for the Monte Carlo processes used to assign states (simulating choices made) at various points in the microsimulation, and the calibration of the resulting system consistent with available aggregate targets.
