  abstract: The objective of this research is to conduct a comparative
  abstract: analysis between the daily travel/ activity behaviors of
  abstract: workers and non-workers so as to provide a better
  abstract: understanding of their different daily travel/activity
  abstract: patterns as subject to temporal/ spatial and household
  abstract: constraints. This study represents a step towards improving
  abstract: the forecasting of travel/ activity behavior in urban areas
  abstract: by providing a conceptual framework which explicitly
  abstract: recognizes behavioral differences between the two groups.
  abstract: The source of data for this study includes 5,232 households
  abstract: and 22,553 trip records which were surveyed by the Bexar
  abstract: County Metropolitan Planning Organization in San Antonio in
  abstract: 1990. To achieve the objective of this research, and
  abstract: validate the hypotheses, the research methodology involves
  abstract: the following steps: Methodology for the first hypothesis
  abstract: involves the use of Pearson's correlation coefficient (r) for
  abstract: measuring the strength of correlation between variables, and
  abstract: Analysis of Variance to test not only the variability of the
  abstract: observations within each travel/ activity group but also the
  abstract: variability between the group means, based on F ratios.
  abstract: Methodology for the second hypothesis involves cluster
  abstract: analysis for a number of homogeneous daily travel/ activity
  abstract: patterns, and comparative analysis of the z scores for the
  abstract: general travel/activity patterns. Methodology for modeling
  abstract: daily travel/ activity behavior involves the description of a
  abstract: conceptual framework and conceptual structures for workers
  abstract: and non-workers. The analysis results verify that workers
  abstract: and non-workers exhibit significant differences in daily
  abstract: travel/ activity behaviors in terms of total daily travel/
  abstract: activity duration, main activity duration, trip generation in
  abstract: the afternoon peak time between 4 and 6 p.m., travel modes,
  abstract: vehicle occupancy, and travel/ activity sequences before and
  abstract: after main activities. The conceptual framework provides the
  abstract: causal mechanism between constraints and decision processes
  abstract: of workers and non-workers for urban daily travel/ activity
  abstract: behavior. In the framework, the differences between workers
  abstract: and non-worker can be explained by the concept of the main
  abstract: activities. The conceptual method can be used as a guideline
  abstract: to analyze the impacts of alternative scenarios of problem
  abstract: constraints such as temporal and spatial dimensions. This
  abstract: study has a great potential for improving the forecasting of
  abstract: travel/ activity behavior in urban areas, especially in
  abstract: relation to the policy issues of transportation demand
  abstract: management.
