• 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.
