The research presented here develops a joint model of work mode choice, number of evening commute stops, and number of post-home arrival stops. This model provides an improved basis to evaluate the effect of alternative transportation control measures. The models also contributes toward the modeling of an individual's entire daily activity-travel pattern in the spirit of activity-based travel analysis. Mode choice is modeled using a multinomial logit model; the number of evening commute and post-home arrival stops are modeled using an ordered-response formulation. The joint model is applied to an empirical analysis using data from an activity survey conducted in the Boston Metropolitan area. The results underscore the importance of accommodating the inter-relationship among mode choice to work, number of evening commute stops, and post-home arrival stops. The effects of a variety of congestion-alleviation measures are examined using the model.
