4.5.1 The generation process<br />
Based on household surveys, we applied a set of trip purpose specific models to generate the<br />
number of annual journeys per individual. And using the knowledge available we expanded the<br />
German data bases for estimation purposes wherever possible by the corresponding data from<br />
other nations. The combination of surveys from different countries allowed to identify the<br />
impacts of single determinants on the mobility per capita.<br />
The purposespecific estimation data bases contain usually socioeconomic information about<br />
the interviewee’s. These observations are enriched geographic, historic and political information<br />
concerning the region to allow a wide spread modelling approach.<br />
The variables considered were chosen according to the possibility to forecast and/or simulate<br />
this information on aggregate level. E.g. household income (class) which is available in a<br />
number of surveys could not be used for modelling purposes as this information could not be<br />
derived from official statistics nor could it be simulated with appropriate effort.<br />
Formally, the annual number of trips per person i per purpose p (T i,p ) is a function of the<br />
demographic and economic characteristics of the individuals under consideration and the spatial<br />
structures they live in. In the formula below, D i stands for attributes like age and gender, while<br />
E i expresses economic indicators (like income, car ownership etc). The latter one is often not<br />
