活动安排的过程对于理解出行行为的变化至关重要。迫切需要深入研究来揭示这一过程。为此，开发了一种新的计算机程序Reaction！，以收集家庭活动计划数据。该程序作为一个独立的程序实施，具有互联网连接，用于远程数据传输。它还包括一个地理信息系统，用于识别地点，并有一个特殊功能，可追踪调度过程中的决定。在加利福尼亚州的欧文进行了一项试点研究，以评估该计划的表现。初步分析验证了该方案引导参与者自行完成数据录入任务的能力，从而达到了降低计算机调查人力资源成本的目的。在减少工具偏见和扩大方案能力的目标方面也取得了其他积极成果。在试点研究中确定了需要改进的地方。在调查结果的基础上，做出反应！为计算机化的家庭调查提供了一个理想的平台，可以为基于活动的旅行模型产生数据。
The process of activity scheduling is crucial to the understanding of travel behavior changes. In-depth research is urgently needed to unearth this process. A new computer program, REACT!, was developed to collect household activity scheduling data for this purpose. The program is implemented as a stand-alone program with Internet connectivity for remote data transmission. It also contains a geographic information system for location identification and a special feature that traces the decisions in the scheduling process. A pilot study was conducted in Irvine, California, to evaluate the program’s performance. Preliminary analysis validated the program’s capability of guiding participants to complete data entry tasks on their own; thus, the objective of reducing the cost of human resources for such a computerized survey is achieved. Other positive results were obtained regarding the objectives of reducing instrumental biases and expanding program capabilities. Areas for improvement were identified in the pilot study. On the basis of the findings, REACT! represents an ideal platform for a computerized household survey that can produce data for activity-based travel models.
