Not the First Digit!
(2007)Digits in statistical data produced by natural or social processes are often distributed in a manner described by 'Benford's law'. Recently, a test against this distribution was used to identify fraudulent accounting data. This test is based on the supposition that first, second, third and other digits in real data follow the Benford distribution while the digits in fabricated do not. Is it possible to apply Benford tests to detect ...Other Research Data -
Forecast based on different data types: A before and after study (Stated preference Mode choice)
(2004)Travel Survey Metadata SeriesIn addition to adequate data, the formulation of transport forecasts relies upon a knowledge of the relationships between the demand for transport and those factors which influence it. These relationships are described with mathematical functions and the their model parameters. The parameters derived from revealed preference (RP) data are often subject to too many impon-derables and are thus of only limited value in many cases. The main ...Other Research Data -
Measuring and Modelling the Reliability of the Transport Supply Experiments with Swiss Respondents
(2004)Travel Survey Metadata SeriesCurrent transport models focus mainly on the variables travel time and travel costs to explain choices made by travellers. In contrast to this, research results substantiate the influence of a range of additional explanatory variables. The reliability of the transportation system is one important example. The inclusion of those variables into the forecasting of the traveller decision requires more knowledge about their valuations. In this ...Other Research Data -
Shopping travel survey 2004
(2005)Travel Survey Metadata SeriesThe Swiss Study of value of travel time savings (VTTS), conducted by König, Axhausen und Abay (2004) has lead to unexpected high values for shopping trips, especially compared to other trip purposes. Furthermore, apart from destination choice models none information about larger shopping trips can be found in literature. Therefore, on the occasion of a diploma thesis, a study focusing only shopping travel behaviour was conducted. As in ...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 SeriesRailway traffic counts were observed by Swiss Federal Railway for internal use. In total, passengers were counted on 2377 links on the Swiss railway network during working days. The statistics in this dataset represent the average number of passenger on a working day.Other Research Data -
Data for Kanton Zurich Public Transport Model
(2005)Travel Survey Metadata SeriesThe cantonal transport agency needs for the development and implementation of its long term transport plan a suitable model, which considers all transport modes. Additional to an existing road transport model, the establishment of a model for public transport and the estimation of a mode choice model have the highest priority. The main objectives of this study are * Establishment of a regional public transport model, which is responsive ...Other Research Data -

Commuter Matrices 1970 - 2000
(2005)Travel Survey Metadata SeriesThe Commuter matrix is the result of question #21 of the Swiss National Census: Question #21: Which means of transportation do you normally use for your commuter trip (work / school)? Please list all means of transportation you used on on the same day for your trip to/from school/work. Public means of transportation were chosen as primary in combined trips (e.g. railway + car).Other Research Data -
ZUK
(2007)Travel Survey Metadata SeriesOriginally, the data has been collected from the internet platform "comparis" (http://www.comparis.ch/immobilien/intro.aspx) for two reasons. On the one hand, it has been used to estimate the rent price model for the UrbanSim application in the Greater Zurich area. On the other hand, it has been used to have a set of not chosen alternatives for the household location choice models. The dwelling unit offers have been parsed in three waves ...Other Research Data
