Transportation researchers have shifted towards a disaggregate behavior oriented activity based framework to analyze travel behavior. The activity based modeling framework attempts to replace the statistical travel prediction focus of the traditional trip based model framework with a more behavioral approach that explicitly recognizes the fundamental role of activity participation as a precursor to travel. The formulation and development of activity based frameworks requires recognition that socio-demographics, activity travel behavior, and land-use transportation networks are interconnected. For this reason, there has been growing interest within the transportation community to develop integrated activity based frameworks for travel behavior modeling. The current research proposal contributes to the existing literature on integrated activity based frameworks by examining specific elements of an integrated activity based framework while simultaneously preparing a "blue print" for the development of an activity based model for Montreal urban region. Specifically, the proposal includes the following research tasks: (1) investigate the influence of residential self-selection on household vehicle ownership decisions (2) examine travel mode choice behavior in the context of emerging internet based technologies, (3) analyze physical activity participation and (4) develop a conceptual framework for an integrated activity based model for Montreal region. The research proposal is intended to span a period of five years with research team of undergraduate and graduate students who will gain considerably during the course of the implementation of the research project. The research tasks presented in the research proposal require a high level of inter-disciplinary knowledge in the fields of travel demand modeling, survey design, data mining, econometrics, and software programming. Further, the team members will gain from exposure to world class research in the field of transportation and econometrics by attending various conferences and collaborating with other prominent researchers in transportation.

交通研究人员已经转向了一个以分解行为为导向的基于活动的框架来分析出行行为。基于活动的建模框架试图用一种更行为的方法取代传统基于旅行的模型框架的统计旅行预测重点，这种方法明确地认识到活动参与是旅行的前兆。基于活动的框架的制定和发展需要认识到社会人口统计学、活动旅行行为和土地使用交通网络是相互关联的。由于这个原因，交通社区对开发基于活动的综合框架来进行旅行行为建模越来越感兴趣。目前的研究提案通过审查基于活动的综合框架的具体要素，同时为蒙特利尔城市区域基于活动的模型的发展准备“蓝图”，为基于活动的综合框架的现有文献做出了贡献。具体而言，该提案包括以下研究任务：(1)调查住宅自我选择对家庭车辆所有权决策的影响；(2)研究新兴互联网技术背景下的出行方式选择行为；(3)分析体育活动参与；(4)为蒙特利尔地区基于活动的综合模型开发概念框架。该研究计划旨在与本科生和研究生组成的研究团队进行为期五年的研究，他们将在研究项目的实施过程中获得可观的收益。研究计划中提出的研究任务要求在旅行需求建模、调查设计、数据挖掘、计量经济学和软件编程等领域具有高水平的跨学科知识。此外，团队成员将参加各种会议，并与其他交通领域的杰出研究人员合作，从而接触到交通和计量经济学领域的世界级研究。
