Título: Travel Demand Models, The Next Generation: Boldly Going Where 
No-One Has Gone Before

Abastract: The starting point for this presentation is that radicle 
changes in technology, services, information and global policy analysis 
needs are presenting unprecedented disruptive challenges to the current 
travel demand modelling state of the art and practice. Improvements in 
travel demand models sufficient to meet these challenges first and 
foremost need to begin with improvements in the fundamental theories 
underpinning the models. They also need to exploit new, massive and 
passive, dynamic sources of data concerning travel that provide 
promising new avenues for research and for model and theory building. 
The next generation of travel demand theories and models may well (need 
to) be more dynamic, statistical, holistic and computationally powerful 
than the current generation of models. Ideally, they should also find 
their place within and contribute to the emerging “science of cities”.
