Consideration of Flexible Temporal Constraint on One-Day Shopping Travel Behavior: Daily Praying Time in Islamic Countries

抄録

This paper attempts to describe flexible temporal constraint as specific behavior on one-day shopping travel in Islamic countries, namely daily praying time constraint. In further, the paper take into account the constraint to develop a choice model of leave time from shopping place. The model is derived from minimization of three types of disutility, i.e., disutility of shortage stay time at the shopping place, disutility of lateness leave time from shopping place, and disutility of the time constraint as consequence of availability of the temporal constraint during period time of a set origin-destination trip. The model was applied to the two categories of shopping centre visitors i.e., car user and motorcycle user categories respectively. By using a goodness of fit test, the proposed model was acceptable. The flexible temporal constraint also can be applied to develop a departure time, trip pattern and mode choice model in further studies.
