Abstract:

This project intends to demonstrate the possibilities for using smartphones to obtain highly

resolved behavioral information for older adults, especially leading edge baby boomers.

Towards this end, we are implementing a pilot study which will help to establish the

foundation for larger-scale, widely-applicable, and more-reliable smartphone-based travel and

activity data collection efforts for the baby boomer cohort, and beyond. The ultimate

objectives are to:

• draw upon innovations in communications technologies to enhance travel data collection;

• develop a non-intrusive tool that may be widely used for travel survey purposes; and

• demonstrate the usefulness of the technology in gathering data that can be especially

helpful to understanding particular behavioral- and built environment-related

characteristics that might influence older adult travel behavior (e.g., safety risks).
