Any classification scheme depends on the particular purpose of the study or application. Detailed coding schemes have the advantage of more precisely tracking a sequence of detailed travel activities with different purposes. Although even 20 classifications of tour type do not capture all possible trip-purpose combinations, the enormous number of tour combinations produced by matching a more modest set of eight trip purposes with number of trips requires such complex bookkeeping that it is difficult to put into practice. Simple coding schemes, on the other hand, are limited because they do not differentiate between types of non-work activities—activities that may have very different travel characteristics. To be useful and practical, a taxonomy has to be simple and clear, yet travel is so complex that any classification scheme is limited in the incremental advancement it provides. Aggregating trip types into the three groups (subsistence, maintenance, and discretionary trips) provides a basis to code and analyze different combinations of tours that is more economical than using eight different activity types, but more detailed than the simple work/non-work dichotomy. The end result is nine different types of tours capturing complexity and trip purpose as shown in Table 6.2.

Classification scheme is a term used to describe a process of categorizing an object through content analysis and grouped them by similarity (Fteimi and Lehner 2018). It is a method that utilize synonyms such as framework, taxonomy, or typology (Nickerson, Varshney, and Muntermann 2013; Gregor 2006; Bailey 1994) and it refers to the outcome of a classification approach for multiple entities. The categorization process describes the function of structuring different things into (n) categories or groups, which can be sub-categorized (Bailey 1994). A classification scheme, helps to clarify and evaluate the complexity of a research domain, simplifies and crates of a common vocabulary and improves the efficiency of database searches through a unique terminology (Barki, Rivard, and Talbot 1988).
