Abstract

Traffic patterns and related problems are changing due to population growth, calamities, among others. Transportation planning is crucial in finding solutions to these problems. Travel forecasting models such as activity-based demand and agent-based microsimulation ones are effective tools to simulate and evaluate transportation planning strategies. This paper aims to develop a framework in line with the advances and concepts from previous studies on transportation demand modelling. Numerous research from various countries in the past years that examine recent developments in agent-based microsimulation and activity-based travel demand models are investigated here. The integration of these models in the context of various scenario types are discussed. The findings and framework are envisaged to aid in the development of a microsimulation model that integrates both activity- and agent-based models.
