Final report : further comparative analysis of daily activity and travel patterns & development of a time-activity-based traveler benefit measure

The scope and objectives of the second phase of the time use study are discussed, followed by a presentation of the results of descriptive analyses of three time use data sets. The primary objective of the study is to gain a more fundamental understanding of travel behavior by examining individuals' time use.
