3. Recommend conferences, courses, papers, projects...

OBSERVED DAYS

Multiple-day data:
- How to analyse data (utilise for an aggregate model) when measuring more days from one household/respondent?

When observing multiple workdays, is it better to measure two consecutive days or two independent days?

OBSERVED DAYS

What are your comments regarding weekend days?

According to our experience, the KOMOD/KONTIV questionnaires are more suitable for workdays than for weekends - weekend days contain a lot of circular trips (e.g. walks), trips with the return next day, multiple "homes" (residence > weekend houses, student dormitory > parents house etc.).
- Moreover, Saturday and Sunday are rather different, considering travel behavior. Weekend travel behavior is also usually connected to Friday (leaving a city for a weekend).

NON-RESPONSE

How to measure non-response (survey design)?
- Remark: in the Czech Republic we have no accessible personal/household registry, our sampling frame is registry of addresses + information on the number of households at each address. We have to visit each household in person.

NON-RESPONSE

DATA SOURCES FOR THE MODEL PURPOSES

What data sources (land-use, population) are used for the passenger modelling in Austria?
- Measure and quality of the data, sharing experience from the Czech Republic. Discussion.
Cordon counting data as calibration data.
- When in the data collection/modelling process apply the cordon data calibration?

MODEL QUALITY

MODELLING TRAFFIC MEASURES

How to model effects of the traffic measures?
How to apply the stated preference data about travel decisions during the modelling process?
