Swiss values of travel time savings
(2004)Travel Survey Metadata SeriesThis study was conducted by the Institute of Transport Planning and Systems (IVT), ETH Zurich and Rapp Trans AG, Zurich on behalf of the Swiss Association of Transport Engineers. It implements the recommendation of the scoping study on Swiss value of travel time savings (VTTS) (Abay und Axhausen, 2000) by estimating VTTS for private motorised and public travel by trip purpose on the basis of new stated-choice (SC) surveys. The survey ...Other Research Data -
12 weeks of leisure tarvel survey
(2004)Travel Survey Metadata SeriesThis survey was conducted with the research project „73/00 Determinanten des Freizeitverkehr“ of the Swiss Association of Transport Engineers (SVI) and the research project “Kontrasträume und Raumpartnerschaften (BMBF)”. It produces descriptive analyses as well as models of the variability of leisure travel (with hazard models), the impact of living conditions on leisure activities (with linear regression and Poisson regression), determinants ...Other Research Data -
Design and Application of a Travel Survey for European Long-Distance Trips Based on an International Network of Expertise (DATELINE)
(2004)Travel Survey Metadata SeriesWithin the DATELINE project (Fifth Framework Programme, Competitive and Sustainable Growth, funded by the European Commission - Directorate General for Transport and Energy) a survey design for long-distance mobility was developed which can be applied and implemented in all Member States of the European Union. In order to ensure the application of the survey design in each Member State, the survey design has to be flexible. Therefore the ...Other Research Data -
Swiss travel behaviour Microcensus 2000
(2004)Travel Survey Metadata SeriesSince 1974 Switzerland has carried out 5-yearly statistical surveys of the population's travel behaviour (travel behaviour microcensus). In 2, 000 some 27, 918 households (29, 407 individuals) were questioned by telephone on the following main topics: ownership of vehicles, driving licenses and season tickets; daily amount of travel(number of journeys, time spent, distances); reasons for travel and use of means of transport, journeys with ...Other Research Data -
Social Networks, Mobility Biographies and Mobility Tools
(2005)Travel Survey Metadata SeriesThe project Social Networks, Mobility Biographies and Mobility Tools addresses a possible determinant to help us understand travel behaviour: this being the size and structure of social networks. Whereas over last few decades, the motives and determinants of individual travel behaviour have been analysed from different perspectives (generalised costs of travel, role patterns out of sociodemographics, household interactions, time budgets, ...Other Research Data -
Synthetic Population of the Canton Zurich for the Year 2000
(2005)Travel Survey Metadata SeriesThe generation of synthetic populations represents a substantial contribution to the acquisition of useful data for large scale agent based microsimulations in the field of transport planning. Basically, the observed data are available from various sources, i.e. censuses (microcensus) in which the data is available in terms of simple summary tables of demographics, such as the number of persons per household for census-block-group-sized ...Other Research Data -
Mobidrive: A six week travel diary
(2004)Travel Survey Metadata SeriesThe recent shift in transport policy to emphasise travel demand management has directed the attention of transport planning research towards the dynamic processes in travel behaviour: learning and change on the one side and rhythms and routines on the other. Progress in the understanding of these processes requires data over long durations, from observation or self- reports. The survey reported here provides for the first time in 30 years ...Other Research Data -
Traffic counting
(2004)Travel Survey Metadata SeriesIn early 2000, the Swiss Feredal Roads Authority (ASTRA: www.astra.admin.ch) has initiated an automatic traffic counts on all the Federal roads of Switzerland. Since then, these traffic counts are conducted continuously. The present dataset consists of average number of passenger cars per working day on each Fedaral road link.Other Research Data -
Transport Infrastructure, Tourist Behaviour and Spatial Structure in the Landscapes and habitats of the Alps
(2005)Travel Survey Metadata SeriesWithin the framework of the National Research Programme 48 "Landscapes and Habitats of the Alps" the Institute for Transport Planning and Systems is working on the research project "Transport Infrastructure, Tourist Behaviour and Spatial Structure in the Landscapes and Habitats of the Alps" which aims at analysing the relationships between the land use, the transport system and the tourist facilities, and their usage by tourists. The ...Other Research Data -
Canton Zurich floating car based link speed measurements
(2005)Travel Survey Metadata SeriesThis paper presents the results of the first large-scale assessment of the service quality of the road network of the Canton Zurich. Three GPS-equipped floating cars were deployed for three weeks on a set of three randomly selected, representative measurement circuits of circa 500 km length. Vehicle coordinates were logged each second for over 2.5 million data records. The experimental approach, data gathering, data reduction, map matching, ...Other Research Data
