“…Activity-based models are often like tour-based models, as the tour-based models do not link the one-day tours to each other, so every activity-based model is a tour-based model and vice versa, i.e., no tour-based model is an activity-based model [7]. TABLE 2 displays answers to transportation questions in terms of Trip-based models and activity-based models [3].…”

The present study Provides a tool to overcome the problem of the lack of accurate models to study many policies affecting the transport system in Egypt, especially the policies of raising fuel prices and their impact on the daily movement patterns of individuals. It also aims to create a model to study the policies of raising fuel prices using activity-based transport demand models because they are the most accurate and realistic methods of modeling transport demand. Egyptian Obour City was chosen as the study area. A total of 934 representative samples of individuals within the study area were collected through questionnaires containing questions specific to the characteristics of households, characteristics of individuals and characteristics of daily tours of individuals. The SPSS program was used to build five models of movement patterns within the study area, where it was found that these models are the most widespread within the study area. The study showed that the cost of day tours has an impact on the individual's choice of daily patterns, as it turned out that a 1% increase in the price of gasoline leads to an average increase in the public transport fare by 0.123%, and this increase leads to a decrease in the odd ratio for Home-based work primary tours pattern by -0.036%, for Home-based education primary tours pattern by -0.155%, and for Home-based education primary tour and secondary work tour pattern by -1.954%. It seems that this effect is small, but when applied to the census of the entire Egyptian society, the effect will be significant. The study also showed that car ownership is the most influential factor in individuals ' decisions in choosing their daily patterns.

This paper reviews transportation sustainability from theoretical and experiential approaches collected from previous journal papers and books published on the latest ten years. Application of sustainable policies was faced many problems and limitations. This study assigns the available literature researches related to theoretical and applied sustainability in transportation and road construction fields in addition to self-organized steps. Also, the transport sustainability issues, aspects, visions, challenges, and benefits have been presented. Finally, it discusses the future theoretical and experiential research approaches that can connect the current long-winded literature on transportation sustainability which may generate a number of probable future research directions.
