A TIME DECISION MODEL OF TEMPORALLY UNCONSTRAINED ONE-DAY TRAVEL AND ITS APPLICATION TO RECREATIONAL TRIPS BY PRIVATE CARS

Abstract

This paper proposes a model for describing the behavior of travellers who are not externally constrained in deciding their travel schedules in a day. The model assumes that every traveller decides his departure time from home and leaving time for home as to minimize the sum of disutilities given by the shortness of stay at the destination, coming and returning travels, earlines of departure, and lateness of arrival at home. The model provides the distributions of departure time and leaving time for home for every origin-destination pair. The model was applied to the recreational trips by cars to a National Goverment Park in Fukuoka where the disutilities of coming travel and lateness of arrival at home are not affectual, and it was revealed that the model gave reasonable results.
