USING VIDEO TECHNOLOGY TO CONDUCT 1991 BOSTON REGION EXTERNAL CORDON SURVEY
The 1991 Boston Region External Cordon Survey is described. External cordon surveys are designed to obtain information on trips that cross the external boundary of a study area. The primary use of external survey data is the development and calibration of external trip distribution models. Particular emphasis is given to two innovative aspects of the 1991 Boston survey: (a) the application of small sample design techniques for the efficient design of an appropriate sample in order to gather significant data on variables of interest, and (b) the extensive use of video technology. When conducting roadside interviews or handing out postcards is not possible because of restrictions regarding traffic delays, the study has shown that video can be used successfully to obtain the needed information, using off-the-shelf equipment and specific techniques to minimize costs.
