GPS Tracking and Time Geography: Applications for Activity Modeling and Microsimulation, Position Papers

Abstract

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) funded a Peer Exchange meeting in Santa Barbara, CA (10-11 October 2005) for travel demand forecasters, experts in travel behavior and GPS data collection, and geographers to discuss potential approaches on using GPS vehicle traces for defining space-time paths and prisms to be used in activity modeling and microsimulation for transportation analysis. This document features the position papers prepared by participants prior to the meeting.
