Abstract

This special issue of <i>Transportation Letters</i> brings together a selection of keynote papers presented at workshops that were conducted during October 2010-August 2011. These workshops had the dual objectives of (a) bringing together communities of social and behavioural science and transport researchers to consider the challenges faced by the travel demand modelling community in a holistic manner, and (b) taking stock of the current array of conceptual and methodological approaches available, anticipating likely future directions of development for the field, and thereby stimulating creative interaction between researchers from a variety of disciplines. The four papers presented in this special issue lead the reader through the process of conceptualisation, development of practical modelling frameworks, empirical model estimations, and data needs, with a distinct eye to the future of travel behaviour and demand modelling. We hope that they are a source of inspiration to researchers and practitioners alike in moving towards the next generation of model building, and also serve to encourage many more productive and visionary workshops like the ones we have had the privilege to organise.
