This chapter gives an overview of uncertainty in travel behavior and its implications for transportation planning. We first address the issue of observation of travel behavior, which provides a foundation for analysis. We then focus on variations of travel behavior that contain information on uncertainties in terms of imperfect model fit to data. After that, changes in travel behavior are addressed, with regard to information on uncertainties in the degree to which the future will resemble the past. Based on the overview of behavioral observation, variations and changes, we discuss the avenues for future research on management of uncertainties from two viewpoints, one emphasizing the improvement of travel behavior analysis and the other the improvement of other components of the transportation planning process. From the former viewpoint, we show the importance of conducting uncertainty analysis to embed improved travel behavior analysis methods in the planning process in an appropriate manner. From the latter viewpoint, we underscore the importance of learning from accumulated experience in diverse countries/cities and learning from experience, particularly in developing countries.
