Modeling intra-household interactions in the generation of social-recreational tours

Description
Summary:Household members often interact with each other during their daily activity- and travel-related decision-making process. In the context of social and recreational activities, these interactions lead to decisions about pursuing such episodes either independently or jointly with others. The substantial focus of the study is on the operationalizing household interactions in various modeling mechanisms by the ways of seeking to maximize the utility of each household member in an interdependent fashion. Florida add-on samples from the 2009 National Household Travel Survey are utilized. The results indicate that household income, age of male, engagement of mandatory activities, engagement of maintenance activities, day of the week, and whether raining have strong impacts on the choice of social-recreational activity participations. Overall, no one model turned out to be a clear “winner” in terms of statistical goodness of fit and predictive abilities, rather on the behavioral insights, the multi-linear logit and parallel constrained logit models do highlight differences in the “power” across household heads, and the trivariate binary probitmodels capture strong correlations in the choices across the male and female and between solo and joint choices.
