Abstract: | Following the growing interest in the characterisation and modelling of activity scheduling and re-scheduling behaviour, this
paper reports the results of a study on the resolution of activity scheduling conflicts. Using empirical data collected through
an Internet survey, the modification of the timing of pre-planned activities to accommodate a new activity in the schedule
was analysed. Schedule adjustment was studied using a parametric hazard model. The results indicate that the characteristics
of the activities involved are the most important factors influencing the process of schedule change. Several correlations
among schedule modifications were found.
