N2 - In this paper we propose a model to simulate activity-travel choice of individuals for a multi-week period, taking within-household interactions into account. The model is based on the needs-based framework that we developed in earlier work. This framework is based on the assumption that underlying the activities that individuals conduct in space and time is a limited set of universal needs. We show how this model can be specified and applied specifically to assess the utility individuals derive from their activities given long-term decisions of the household such as residential location, availability of transportation means and working hours. Thus, the model can be used as a component of a system for predicting long-term mobility decisions of households and impacts of these decisions on activity-travel behavior. We discuss results of simulations that illustrate the working and performance of the model.
