Book Synopsis Effective GPS-based Panel Survey Sample Size for Urban Travel Behavior Studies by : Yanzhi Xu
Download or read book Effective GPS-based Panel Survey Sample Size for Urban Travel Behavior Studies written by Yanzhi Xu and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research develops a framework to estimate the effective sample size of Global Positioning System (GPS) based panel surveys in urban travel behavior studies for a variety of planning purposes. Recent advances in GPS monitoring technologies have made it possible to implement panel surveys with lengths of weeks, months or even years. The many advantageous features of GPS-based panel surveys make such surveys attractive for travel behavior studies, but the higher cost of such surveys compared to conventional one-day or two-day paper diary surveys requires scrutiny at the sample size planning stage to ensure cost-effectiveness. The sample size analysis in this dissertation focuses on three major aspects in travel behavior studies: 1) to obtain reliable means for key travel behavior variables, 2) to conduct regression analysis on key travel behavior variables against explanatory variables such as demographic characteristics and seasonal factors, and 3) to examine impacts of a policy measure on travel behavior through before-and-after studies. The sample size analyses in this dissertation are based on the GPS data collected in the multi-year Commute Atlanta study. The sample size analysis with regard to obtaining reliable means for key travel behavior variables utilizes Monte Carlo re-sampling techniques to assess the trend of means against various sample size and survey length combinations. The basis for the framework and methods of sample size estimation related to regression analysis and before-and-after studies are derived from various sample size procedures based on the generalized estimating equation (GEE) method. These sample size procedures have been proposed for longitudinal studies in biomedical research. This dissertation adapts these procedures to the design of panel surveys for urban travel behavior studies with the information made available from the Commute Atlanta study.

Book Synopsis Final Report for Global Position System-based Household Interview Survey for the Cincinnati, Ohio Region by : Peter R. Stopher
Download or read book Final Report for Global Position System-based Household Interview Survey for the Cincinnati, Ohio Region written by Peter R. Stopher and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Methods for Conducting a Large-Scale GPS-Only Survey of Households Past Household Travel Surveys (HTS) in the United States have only piloted small subsamples of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) completes compared with 1-2 day self-reported travel inventory diaries. The Ohio Department of Transportation Research Division, in cooperation with the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana (OKI) Council of Governments, in 2009 initiated the first exclusively GPS Household Travel Survey (HTS) (e.g., no diaries). In addition, the ODOT GPS-only HTS is one of a few initial US studies to successfully use a personal devise GPS. Most past subsample studies have installed GPS in vehicles for recording and comparison of auto travel only. Additionally, this study was one of the first completed address-based HTS, which includes cell only households, with Internet recruit available. This research documents the protocols used for GPS deployment to all members of a household over 12 years old for a three-day recording period. Simplified diaries were provided for children under age 12. The main survey commenced in August of 2009. Recruitment of over 5,000 households progressed over a twelve month period, with proportional distribution. The highly stratified address-based sampling method used is described as well as the forms and materials, response rates for recruitment, and the compliance rates and experiences with households. Also described are the logistical challenges of getting 4+ persons households to all carry a GPS unit on a concurrent day and the challenge of loss rates on GPS units not returned. This research documents the Internet-based prompted recall (PR) verification method used and its outcomes. The PR was essentially used to impute mode of travel and trip purpose from GPS recordings. These imputation methods and findings are described. Also presented and discussed is the depth and degree of accuracy of core trip variables obtained using GPS-only methods, including modes, travel time and distance, and purpose at locations. Lessons learned are recorded. The primary conclusion to be drawn from this research is that it is feasible to undertake a GPS-only household travel survey, achieving a high standard of representativeness for the sample, while imputing mode and purpose at a sufficiently accurate level to support modeling work. The high level of accuracy attained in this survey for imputing mode and purpose with 96 percent on mode and around 90 percent on activity (other than detailed breakdowns of the "other" category) is far superior to self-report surveys. The richness of the "ground-truthing" of time, location, distance, speed, and route information from this survey surpasses what can be achieved from any other form of survey.

Download or read book Bicycle Urbanism written by Rachel Berney and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over recent decades, bicycling has received renewed interest as a means of improving transportation through crowded cities, improving personal health, and reducing environmental impacts associated with travel. Much of the discussion surrounding cycling has focused on bicycle facility design—how to best repurpose road infrastructure to accommodate bicycling. While part of the discussion has touched on culture, such as how to make bicycling a larger part of daily life, city design and planning have been sorely missing from consideration. Whilst interdisciplinary in its scope, this book takes a primarily planning approach to examining active transportation, and especially bicycling, in urban areas. The volume examines the land use aspects of the city—not just the streetscape. Illustrated using a range of case studies from the USA, Canada, and Australia, the volume provides a comprehensive overview of key topics of concern around cycling in the city including: imagining the future of bicycle-friendly cities; integrating bicycling into urban planning and design; the effects of bike use on health and environment; policies for developing bicycle infrastructure and programs; best practices in bicycle facility design and implementation; advances in technology, and economic contributions.
