  2. Presentation Overview • Background • Research Objectives • Conceptual Structure of GPS-TDG • Software Overview • Tutorial using Sample Data from Laredo • Preprocessing GPS streams • Basic Analysis • Enhanced Analysis • Querying and Aggregation

  3. Household Travel Surveys Data Travel Demand Models Understand Travel Needs: Generate Policy Actions Evaluate Impacts of Policy Actions Forecast Travel Demand Background: Collecting Travel Data

  4. Survey Implementation Enhancements PAPI CATI ETD / CASI GPS-Enhanced Background: Enhancing Travel Data Collection Survey Design Enhancements Trip diaries Activity diaries Time-use diaries

  5. Using GPS in Travel Surveys: Different Technologies Our focus In-Vehicle devices Purely passive Requiring additional active input Hand-held devices

  6. Advantages of GPS-based Data Collection • Passive Data Collection • Reduces respondent burden • Address under-reporting of trips • Address item non-response • Increased Spatial and Temporal Accuracy • Destination locations for non-frequent trips • Trip times and time-of-day of travel are not estimates • Additional Data • Trips missed in manual reporting • Route choice • Travel speeds

  7. Issues with Passive-GPS Data Collection • Data is collected in the form of navigational streams • Requires operational definitions of “trips” and “stops” • Requires substantial processing for converting into conventional trip-diary format • Equipment capabilities/accuracy/errors impacts trip identification • Trip purpose information unknown • Requires supplemental user input (en-route or via prompted recall) • Use of regional land-use and respondent demographics data for imputing trip purposes • Vehicle occupancy unknown • Requires supplemental user input

  8. GPS-based Travel Surveys: Summary • Substantial potential for using in-vehicle GPS technologies in travel surveys to enhance quality and quantity of data • Shifts considerable burden from the respondent to the analyst: Need to convert navigational streams from GPS devices to trip sequences

  9. Research Objectives Develop a GIS-based software to automate the process of converting the raw GPS navigational streams into the conventional trip-diary format Develop algorithm to identify vehicle trip characteristics from GPS navigational streams Implement the algorithm in GIS-based software to automate travel-diary extraction Aggregate the derived travel diaries to produce inter-zonal trip-tables by trip purpose and time of day Compute inter-zonal highway performance measures (i.e., travel times and speeds)
