• Abstract:
  PROJECT BACKGROUND: Household travel surveys (HTS) are designed to provide information about daily travel patterns, including ; trip purposes, time of day decisions, mode choices, trip lengths and distances, activity locations, and ; routes taken. This information is typically gathered from self-reported information in a diary, with the ; information retrieved via a computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI), a web-based survey, or ; mailback of the completed diary. Unfortunately, it has been demonstrated that self-reporting leads to ; inaccuracies in travel information. The biggest short-coming is trip underreporting. For instance, recent ; work by Wolf et al., (2003), Pearson (2004) and others has shown that diary information retrieved through ; CATI when compared with GPS measured travel suggests trip under-reporting ranges from 20 to 30 ; percent. The diary approach has also shown time inaccuracies and origin-destination location errors; ; respondent fatigue often results in self-reporting human errors.
