This report provides a comprehensive review of previous research on childrens activity engagement and travel by focusing on the dimensions characterizing childrens activity-travel patterns and the factors affecting these dimensions. In addition, an empirical analysis is undertaken of the post-school out-ofhome activity-location engagement patterns of children aged 5 to 17 years. Specifically, this research effort utilizes a multinomial logit model to analyze childrens post-school location patterns, and employs a multiple discrete-continuous extreme value (MDCEV) model to study the propensity of children to participate in, and allocate time to, multiple activity episode purpose-location types during the afterschool period. Finally, the paper identifies the need and opportunities for further research in the field of childrens travel behavior analysis.
