• Abstract:
  The travel diary is the central survey instrument for travel behavior research. In its current form it reflects forty years of development. This paper discusses the current and possible contents of the travel diary against the background of a rapidly changing transport policy and transport modelling environment. In its first part the paper traces the development of the travel diary over the last forty years in terms of content and presentation. It highlights the shifts in emphasis over time, e.g. the reemergence of parking as a concern. The second part assesses the items currently employed and suggest some new items reflecting the new policy concerns. Examples are environmental impacts, information technologies, or activity scheduling. The need for new research and for the use of new technologies are stressed in the concluding outlook.
