New agentic workflow integrates LLMs for travel behavior prediction

Researchers have developed a novel three-agent workflow that integrates conversational data collection, structured data processing, and behavioral prediction for travel behavior research. This approach utilizes a chatbot-administered survey to gather mode choices under various weather conditions, yielding data analyzed by traditional models and machine learning techniques. The study evaluated nine large language models (LLMs) with different prompting strategies, finding that multimodal LLMs incorporating visual context achieved the highest prediction accuracy. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates how LLMs can be integrated into complex data collection and prediction workflows, potentially improving accuracy in specialized domains.

    An Agentic Approach for Active Data Collection, Travel Behavior Modeling, and Weather-Sensitive Demand Prediction

    arXiv:2608.20320v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Travel behavior research increasingly combines digital data collection with predictive modeling, yet these stages are often developed and evaluated separately. This study proposes a three-agent workflow integrating conversational da…
