Integrate joint-tour generation with activity scheduling

Integrate joint tour generation with activity scheduling models in agent-based transport simulations, which currently assume that household activity patterns are fixed.

Background

The proposed methodology assigns joint-tour status, travel mode, and driver/passenger roles to pre-specified activity chains in a synthetic population. It does not generate or modify household daily activity patterns. The paper identifies the integration of joint-tour generation with activity scheduling as an unresolved challenge, suggesting that future models should jointly represent the formation of shared household tours and the scheduling of individual activities.
