Abstract
developing travel demand models since this places’ trip pattern are difference from standard places. Investigating the trip behavior of Imam Khomeini International University’s students, by using activity based approach, is the main object of this study. Since new modeling approaches such as activity based model, which is based on persons’ behavior, seem to be more appropriate than four step model. Therefore according to surveyed questionnaire, which is special for collecting activities data, persons are grouped and then activity pattern choice model are provided. The results of this paper showed that women living in dormitory and employed student living in Qazvin are more likely to do more activities after studying rather than students who have the same location they have. The results of models and variable used in models can be used for transportation facilities’ policy and scheduling classes’ management with respect to students’ social-economic features.
