The dynamic multimodal network assignment problem at the daily schedule level is addressed by integrating an activity-based model and a dynamic traffic assignment tool through a unified framework. The framework achieves this integration while retaining disaggregated individualized information. The problem is formulated as a fixed-point problem, and equilibrium is achieved by minimizing the gap between the expected travel time, which is used by the activity-based model to generate the travelers’ individual and household activity schedules, and their experienced travel times, simulated by the dynamic traffic assignment tool. The schedule adjustment problem for individuals and households is formulated as a linear optimization problem. Two measures—inconsistent-schedule penalty and number of households with unrealistic schedules—are defined to monitor the status of the equilibrium and convergence gap of the integrated system. To ensure convergence of the applied integration, heuristic strategies for selecting individuals for schedule adjustment and path swap are tested in a subarea network of Chicago, Illinois. Selecting individuals for schedule adjustment based on their inconsistent-schedule penalty reduces both defined measures significantly and leads to the convergence of the planned schedule and the experienced (i.e., simulated) schedule.
