USE OF AN ACTIVITY DIARY SURVEY TO EXAMINE TRAVEL AND ACTIVITY REPORTING IN A HOME INTERVIEW SURVEY
Research presented in this paper uses results from an activity diary survey to comment on the quality of data collected in a home interview travel survey. Evidence is presented to suggest that although a period of slightly more than three years separated the two surveys, the samples were reasonably similar with respect to their socio-demographic composition and real mobility levels. There was, however, a much higher level of travel and out-of-home activity reporting in the activity diary when compared to the home interview survey. Differences in reporting rates are examined in detail and areas of deficiency with the home interview survey are identified. The paper concludes with a short discussion of the possible implications of these deficiencies when home interview survey data are used to investigate a range of urban transport issues. (Author/TRRL)
