Creation of vehicle diaries using C++

Abstract

Models that consider the environmental impacts of vehicular traffic require the use of trip data of vehicles. The trip data for the vehicle is stored in the form of vehicle diaries, which provide the information regarding the time of use of the vehicle, occupancy and main user of the vehicle. The German research project Mobidrive, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, implemented a six-week continuous travel diary, which now yields a unique database for creation of vehicle diaries of the household that took part in the survey. The paper describes the C++ program, which was used for the creation of vehicle diaries within the database.
