THE SCHEDULING OF CONSUMER ACTIVITIES: WORK TRIPS
展示了如何从理论上和实证上对消费者活动调度进行建模，以工作出行为例，发现调度转移对理解城市交通系统有重要影响，并讨论了该方法在需求研究、时间价值测量等领域的应用前景。
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that the scheduling of activities by consumers can be explicitly modeled in theoretically satisfactory and empirically productive way. Even in the case of urban work trips, probably one of the most tightly constrained of everyday activities, schedule shifting is found to be of quantitative importance for the understanding of urban transportation systems. Considerable effort will be required to assess fully the implications of this type of behavior for such important areas of transportation analysis as demand studies, value-of-time measurement, policy simulation, and cost-benefit analysis. Meanwhile, it seems likely that this approach can be applied productively to other goods subject to peak demands.
