“…The random errors are assumed to be distributed according to a type I extreme value distribution. Predictions based on MMNL regression can therefore be expected to be more accurate than the results from the standard MNL model because it is a more flexible and powerful approach relaxing the limitations of a MNL model [17,37–41].…”

Introduction Egypt’s National Road Project is a large infrastructure project which presently aims to upgrade 2500 kilometers of road networks as well as construct 4000 kilometers of new roads to meet today’s need. This leads to an increase in the number of work zones on highways and therefore a rise in hazardous traffic conditions. This is why highways agencies are shifting towards night construction in order to reduce the adverse traffic impacts on the public. Although many studies have investigated work zone crashes, only a few studies provide comparative analysis of the difference between nighttime and daytime work zone crashes. Methods Data from Egyptian long-term highway work zone projects between 2010 and 2016 are studied with respect to the difference in injury severity between nighttime and daytime crashes by using separate mixed logit models. Results The results indicate that significant differences exist between factors contributing to injury severity. Four variables are found significant only in the nighttime model and four other variables significant in the daytime model. The results show that older and male drivers, the number of lane closures, sidewise crashes, and rainy weather have opposite effects on injury severity in nighttime and daytime crashes. The findings presented in this paper could serve as an aid for transportation agencies in development of efficient measures to improve safety in work zones.

“…Moreover, household members tend to schedule joint activities and trips (e.g., Bradley and Vovsha, 2005;Chu, 2022;Fujii et al, 1999;Koppelman, 2002, 2005;Gupta and Vovsha, 2013;Kalter and Geurs, 2016;Kang and Scott, 2011;Kato and Matsumoto, 2009;Lai et al, 2019;Liu et al, 2022;Lu et al, 2022;Mosa and Esawey, 2013;Bhat, 2006, 2008;Vovsha et al, 2003), and these mainly include joint leisure activities and escorting children to school (Han et al, 2019;Hsu and Saphores, 2014;Vovsha and Petersen, 2005;Yarlagadda and Srinivasan, 2008). The existence of joint activities among household members complicates the trade-off between the different types of activities (e.g., household task allocation) (Arrow 2b).…”

“…First, a family is a complex group, and all decisions made must account for systemic interrelation among members [4]. Human activity-travel patterns are rarely a simple output of individual choice behavior and are instead often influenced by both household resources and the environment [5,6]. Second, as a result of the space-time continuity of travel and activities, participation by different family members in individual or household activities leads to disruptive or harmonious effects on the planning procedures of daily schedules.…”

Interactions among family members can yield valuable information for interpreting individual travel decisions. Typically, each family member plays a set role and travel decisions are made by considering the combined needs of household members. This study investigates both multiactivity and multiperson interactions in urban nuclear families and proposes the novel concepts of “activity-restriction degree” and “activity-constraint niche” to quantify the degree of space-time constraints within time geography. A structural equation model is employed to analyze intrahousehold interactions based on individual activity-travel patterns during the workday. The results indicate that the links between family members reflect behavioral responses (with constraints) between individuals and other family members. Household interaction constraints not only influence individual travel decisions but also affect the realization of the household activity for everyone. These interactions lead to reasonable adjustments and mutual support and to the identification of efficient activity patterns that meet the demands of the entire household.
