Abstract

Between August 2019 and January 2020, we carried out a large-scale tracking study involving 3,000 people in Switzerland. Participants were tracked using the GPS –based travel diary app “Catch my Day” for a total of 8 weeks based on a rolling recruitment design. The app recorded travel choices and imputed the chosen travel mode. Although the study was officially finished by the end of January 2020 and participants had received their compensation payments, around 300 participants continued to record their travel behavior voluntarily. After the Covid-19 crisis reached Switzerland in March of 2020, we asked all participants to re-start tracking in order to learn about the implications of the enacted policy measures for personal mobility. Roughly half of the participants agreed to participate in this second study, and we are in the process of tracking the mobility of around 1,000 people.
