Investigation of the Required Travel Survey Size for Training an Activity-Based Traffic Demand Model for Flanders Implemented in the FEATHERS Simulation Platform

It has been known from many years now that operational activity-based models need a lot of survey data to incorporate behavioural decision making of people. While there have been contributions from the field of statistics about how much survey data is needed to come to reliable estimates of behaviour; an obvious question which is often overlooked in the domain is how much survey data is really necessary to obtain an activity-based model that is sufficiently competent and accurate. This question is not only scientifically challenging and interesting, but also can significantly reduce data colle... Mehr ...
