Exploring the Spatial Transferability of FEATHERS – An Activity Based Travel Demand Model – For Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Book Contribution - Book Chapter Conference Contribution

This paper presents descriptive analyses to investigate the transferability of FEATHERS, an activity-based travel demand model developed for Flanders (Belgium), a region in a developed country to Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam), a metropolitan area of a developing country using personal and household travel survey data. The transferability was tested by using indicators which represent individuals' activity and travel behaviors. The results confirm the transferability of FEATHERS modelling structure to Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), but all sub-models require recalibration due to the different cultural settings between the two study areas. The differences in transport mode options, land use patterns and individuals' location choice preferences make transport mode and location choice the least transferable models. (C) 2019 The Authors.
