Abstract:

Fragmentation of activities and travel is defined in this project as the sequencing of many short activities and trips that happen in a person’s daily schedule. These are combined with other activities and travel that are much longer to form a complete string of episodes and durations of each episode by each individual we observe. Fragmentation in a schedule that is made of a sequence of activities means multiple switching between different activities in a day, e.g., the sequence of: escorting children to schools—go to work—eat meal with colleagues—run errand—go back to work—go to a social event—go back to work—pick up children from schools—go shopping—return home—escort a child to soccer practice—do some work using mobile technologies—escort child back home—work at home.
