S. David Wu is currently a Professor and Interim Chairman at the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering at Lehigh University. Professor Wu's research interests are in the area of manufacturing, production and logistics systems, more specifically in distributed decisions, scheduling, and combinatorial optimization. He has published many of these articles in IIE Transactions, Operations Research, Management Science, and others. Professor Wu is the cofounder of MLI, a research group focusing on logistical problems in the manufacturing industry. His research has been supported by NSF, DOD and various industrial sources such as Lucent Technologies, Ford, Unisys, and Bethlehem Steel. Dr. Wu received his MSIE and Ph.D. degrees from the Pennsylvania State University in 1987. In 199s 96, he was a Visiting Professor at the University of Pennsylvania. He currently serves on the editorial boards of ZIE Transacrion, JEEE Transactions and Journal of Manufacturing Systems.

N2 - Despite the considerable work done on travel behaviour in general and on driving behaviour in particular, it is argued that most of the behavioural models still lack a cognitive explanatory mechanism of the individual's choice process. The paper presents a survey of recent important research in this area from European and North American perspectives in order to identify issues that should be studied more closely as a base for a new research agenda. It was found that since the human cognitive mechanism of travel decision-making is universal, idiosyncratic situations, cultural and societal norms can affect the individual's perception of constraints that will consequently affect the whole decision-making process. An extension of the Decision Field Theory is proposed as a framework for a new research agenda, which will include the effects of travel situations (e.g. timing, dynamics and type) as well as of cultural habits and societal norms. This theory is aimed at understanding the motivational and cognitive mechanisms that guide a deliberation process involved in making travel decisions under uncertainty.
