Abstract

Developing a model of the needs of a mobile traveler is critical to good personalization. Transportation planners have been modeling these needs for years, but these models have not been used to date due to two outstanding questions: 1) are they applicable to individual travelers 2) are they useful beyond the studied region. This study demonstrates these studies can directly enhance the model of mobile users, and be done in a practical way through the transference of activity patterns across cities. This work then demonstrates how these studies can be combined with patterns of an individual mobile user successfully.
