The TRB Standing Committee on Effects of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) on Travel Choices (AEP35) invites papers on travel behavior in the context of ICT-based activity participation, emerging mobility systems, and interactions between the two.
Papers may present new empirical or theoretical findings, innovative modeling approaches, syntheses of knowledge, visions of emerging technologies and implications, or recommendations for best practices.
Behavioral Frameworks or Conceptual Models of traveler’s response to new transportation services (such as Mobility as a Service (MaaS)) and technologies with implications for travel behavior and activity patterns.
Empirical Evidence on the effect of information on travel and activity choices. Examples include advanced & personalized traveler information systems, environmental information systems, social media, and crowdsourced information systems.
Interactions of ICT Use with the use of autonomous, shared, and demand-responsive mobility systems.
Remote Activity Participation and Hybrid Work:
Mobility implications including the impact of emerging technologies that enable new forms of activity participation.
Land use implications including but not limited to repurposing of office space and changes in downtown activity patterns.
New Approaches for data collection, analysis, or modeling of travel behavior and/or activity participation using existing and emerging online data sources.
Sustainability and Energy-Related Outcomes of ICT-based activity participation and emerging mobility systems.
Analyses and Models of Work-from-Home Frequency by occupation type or industry, supporting a better understanding of the rapid rise of telecommuting and flexible work arrangements.
Impact of eCommerce on in-person activity engagement, and travel.
Accessibility Issues, including in relation to the digital divide.
This year, TRB will not be providing an option to submit your manuscripts to a specific call for papers. Instead, please add the following sentence on the title page of your manuscript:
“This manuscript is being submitted to AEP35 Call for Papers titled ‘A Glimpse of the Future: Evolving Lifestyles, Smartphones, Remote Work, ICT, and Mobility’”

Remote work is often seen as a solution to urban congestion, air pollution, and rural depopulation, but it can cause rebound effects like more non-work trips and added pressure on rural infrastructure. This workshop will identify and discuss the positive and negative impacts of remote work on mobility and land use, including its indirect effects on labor and housing markets, and how to incorporate insights into transportation forecasting models.
This workshop starts with selected experts from various regions sharing their findings on studying and modeling remote work. The second part of the workshop will involve a participatory-based approach combining ideation, idea sorting, and idea rating. The workshop’s outcome is a collectively built conceptual framework to model the impact of remote work and an executive summary.
