The household activity pattern problem of analyzing/predicting the opt
imal path of household members through time and space as they complete
a prescribed agenda of out-of-home activities is posed as a variant o
f the pickup and delivery problem with time windows. The most general
case of the model includes provision for vehicle transfer, selective a
ctivity participation, and ridesharing options. A series of examples a
re solved using generic algorithms. The model is purported to remove e
xisting barriers to the operationalization of activity-based approache
s in travel behavior analysis.
