CEMDAP
The "Comprehensive Econometric Micro-simulator for Daily Activity-travel Patterns" (CEMDAP), is a software implementation of a system of econometric models that represent the decision-making behavior of individuals. It is one of the first systems to comprehensively simulate the activity-travel patterns of workers as well as non-workers in a continuous time domain. Given various land-use, socio-demographic, activity system, and transportation level-of-service attributes as input, the system provides as output the complete daily activity-travel patterns for each individual in the household.
