Activity-based models offer a comprehensive approach by forecasting all daily activities and the resulting travel patterns. However, traditional choice models struggle to handle the large number of alternatives involved in such complex scenarios. To address this issue, we propose a novel modeling approach that leverages combinatorial optimization techniques, effectively managing the complexity and improving predictive performance.
