• Abstract:
  This report presents the results of a study of the accuracy of home interview survey data in estimating zonal trip ends. The study is based on 100 percent survey data collected by the Texas Highway Department in three apparently homogeneous, adjacent zones in San Antonio. The general data analysis confirmed the homogeneity of the travel characteristics of the zones. A large number of repeated random samples were drawn at various sampling rates and the results used to verify the basic assumptions and general applicability of a set of theoretical relationships between sample size and the expected error of estimation. The analysis of this aggregate zonal data was directed toward the accuracy of home interview data in estimating the population mean (i.e., the mean trips per dwelling unit) and the population variance (i.e., the variance between dwelling units in trip productivity).
