GIS and the Collection of Travel Survey Data

Abstract

This chapter considers how geographic system (GIS) system capabilities have been used in order to enhance the collection of travel survey data - while it does not focus on the analysis of survey data, per se, it is clear that effective spatial analysis is only possible if the data are collected and geo-coded correctly. The chapter begins by reviewing how GIS have been used in a general sense as part of travel survey methodologies. The next section details how the geo-coding process works and how this has been enhanced by the use of GIS capabilities. Following this, the discussion turns to the issues and options associated with developing the two major input requirements for geo-coding, the reference and target databases. Finally, some concluding comments are made on where GIS technology might take travel survey methodologies in the future.
