Abstract

This paper suggests a dynamic activity chaining model and proposes an arc-based Cross Entropy (CE) approach to approximate activity-chain-based dynamic user equilibrium. A multiagent approach is proposed for complex activity chaining behavior modeling and simulation on a multimodal road network. Each agent is considered as a rational expected utility maximizing user aiming to, at each activity location, maximizing total expected utility gain for not yet implemented activities in his/her activity program. The complex activity-chain-based dynamical user equilibrium condition is formulated by applying dynamic programming approach. By applying the proposed arc-based CE approach, an approximate of activity-chain-based dynamic user equilibrium can be achieved.
