Abstract: How we spend our time and in what activities we participate vary from individual to individual. These individual decisions are characterized by the nature of our activity desires, and the where, with whom, when, and duration dimensions of desired participations. Taken together, these choices determine our activity involvements and movements over space and time. At the same time, our activity-travel environment itself is changing rapidly, thanks to the advent of new technologies that fundamentally alter the nature of our space-time interactions. Within this context, the current chapter will capture ongoing interdisciplinary directions of scholarly enquiry in the following directions: (1) time-use and activity-based approaches to travel demand analysis, (2) emerging modeling methods for the analysis of human activities, time-use, and travel behavior, (3) relevant developments in data collection methods, and (4) trends in time-use, activity, and travel behavior due to emerging travel technologies, access to information and communication, and unprecedented circumstances posed by the recent pandemic.
