This paper proposes a location choice procedure that is capable to handle long term and continuous location choice aspects. It integrates expected travel time, current location effectiveness, prospective location effectiveness, and individual unexplained location preference into a target-based model whose decision heuristic decides on the fly and with an open time horizon about future locations agents should visit. Several simulation runs ...

This paper proposes a microscopic travel demand simulation that employs a continuous planning approach with an open time horizon. It uses behavioral targets and the concept of projects to model people’s motivation to execute activities. People’s behavior originates from a planning heuristic making on the fly decisions about upcoming activities. The planning heuristic bases its decisions on the available activity execution options in the ...
