Abstract

This report describes a telematic system called “TeleTravel System” (TTS) that will be used to survey individual travel behaviour. The TeleTravel System is based on the GSM-Standard. It collects data concerning travel behaviour automatically, prepares it, and stores it in a central data base. Information about all changes of location an individual has made within a fixed period of time are provided. Individual attributes of trip are always supplied. The equipment and survey technique of the system are explained as well as the functional components, especially a GSM-based positioning algorithm.

... Other types of survey (e.g. Wermuth et al. in [5]) do actually use simple SIM 1 -card programs navigating through few/small lists of alternative answers. This is definitely not enough complex for activity scheduling. ...
Computerized Self-administered Survey and Modelling Framework for Students Mobility and the underlying Scheduling Process

This paper presents a new approach to analyze and model the "Activity-Travel Scheduling Process", tracing and observing triggers and reasons for activity planning at the very time of the scheduling-decision. A one-week self-administered survey on PocketPCs (PDA – personal digital assistant) handed out to students of ages 13-19 by complete class and in different types of school-environment with just 30 minutes for introduction was found to produce valuable results at little respondent burden and fatigue effects. The additional usage of the devices for games, music etc. was encouraged to keep the young and impatient respondents interested. The survey's detailed maps were widely preferred to typing in addresses decreasing also the efforts for geo-coding and facilitating future attachments to location-based services as well as team-calendars. Though this was more exploring a technology and not fully representative statistics, students were found to behave significantly different by various attributes such as the day of the week, gender, age and especially the setting of their school. For example the mobility rate decreased much with higher age, the school setting could double non-motorized trips or weekends yielded doubled auto usage at the cost of transit only. Of the scheduled end-times of activities 40% were changed during the week; in about a third of the trips, persons being involved changed twice on average. Observing the exact time and trigger of a decision concerning (re-)scheduling was found complex to categorize. Answering the prompted questions for reasons of specific choices of location, time or mode was often skipped due to the number of alternatives.
