Special issue on activity-travel decision processes

Abstract

Before you lies the 2006 TRB (Transportation Research Board) Special Issue of Transportation comprising selected papers presented at the 2006 Annual Meeting of the TRB in sessions sponsored by the Travel Behavior and Values committee on activity-travel decision processes. We are pleased to serve as editors of this Special Issue. The Special Issue is the outcome of a partnership between Transportation and the TRB, a division of the National Research Council, which serves the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in the United States. This partnership builds on TRB’s commitment to build bridges that help disseminate cutting edge research and state-of-the-art solutions in transportation to a worldwide audience. It involves two standing committees of TRB’s Division A (Technical Activities): the Committee on Traveler Behavior and Values ABD10) and the Committee on Travel Demand Forecasting (ADB40).
