Research Projects
TOMNET researchers are engaged in cutting-edge research projects to advance the state of the art and the state of the practice in measuring and understanding traveler attitudes, values, perceptions, and preferences, and using such data to improve the ability of travel demand forecasting models to predict activity-travel behavior, mobility choices, and time use patterns under a wide variety of future scenarios. The completed and ongoing TOMNET projects are listed below by partner institution. TOMNET researchers welcome input and support in executing the research, education, and technology transfer mission of the center.
