• Abstract:
  This report provides a comprehensive review of previous research on children’s activity engagement and
  
  travel by focusing on the dimensions characterizing children’s activity-travel patterns and the factors
  
  affecting these dimensions. In addition, an empirical analysis is undertaken of the post-school out-ofhome
  
  activity-location engagement patterns of children aged 5 to 17 years. Specifically, this research
  
  effort utilizes a multinomial logit model to analyze children’s post-school location patterns, and employs
  
  a multiple discrete-continuous extreme value (MDCEV) model to study the propensity of children to
  
  participate in, and allocate time to, multiple activity episode purpose-location types during the afterschool
  
  period. Finally, the paper identifies the need and opportunities for further research in the field of
  
  children’s travel behavior analysis.
