Abstract
This paper proposes a model for predicting the temporal distribution of one‐day travel which is not under any explicit temporal constraints. The model assumes utilities related to the earliness of home departure, the lateness of home arrival, along with the utilities related to staying at a destination or travelling. The proposed model is applied to one‐day recreational travel in Japan. The model provides a reasonable prediction of temporal distribution on mass transit systems. The model is then revised for predicting travel by private cars.
