ANALYSES OF PANEL DATA. PPOCEEDINGS OF THE ROUND TABLE CONFERENCE ON THE LONGITUDINAL TRAVEL STUDY HELD AT THE HAGUE, MAY 14-15, 1987

The purpose of the round table conference on the longitudinal travel study was to answer the question whether a panel survey from 1984 had fulfilled expectations, both as regards data (improvement on other types of data) and results (achieving the objectives). Section 2 gives an outline of the policy questions for which it was thought that a panel survey would provide relevant data. Section 3 looks at a number of practical research problems and their implication for answering the initial questions posed. Sections 4 to 6 give a description of the questions the panel survey sets out to answer on: 1) identification of travel patterns; 2) factors influencing travel behavior; 3) other subjects to be researched. Section 7 gives the main points for consideration at the round table conference. The contributors of the papers are: the Ministry of Transport and Public Works, Bureau Goudappel Coffeng, F. van de Pol, C. van der Eijk (University of Amsterdam), R. Kitamura (Department of Civil Engineering, University of California), E. Weiner (U.S. Deaprtment of Transportation), J.T.A. van der Loop.
