Lessons from an overview of national transport surveys, from working group 3 of COST 355: Changing behavior toward a more sustainable transport system

Abstract

Abstract This chapter summarizes some of the results from the Working Group “National Travel Surveys” in COST Action 355. All 50 presentations could not be reviewed here; thus, we focus on three crucial topics: the periodicity of data collection, but also its longitudinal aspects (advantages of continuous surveying, repeated cross-sections vs. panel surveys, etc.), new technologies for improving the efficiency and accuracy of mobility surveys (computer-assisted telephone, Web-based, interviews, GPS, GSM, RDS, etc.), innovative approaches, exemplified by qualitative surveys combined with conventional quantitative ones, and by biographical approaches.
