INNOVATIVE DATA COLLECTIONS TO ANALYZE NORTH CAROLINA'S AIRPORT ACTIVITIES
The North Carolina Department of Transportation, Airport Division, contracted with the University of North Carolina, Charlotte (UNCC) and Street Smarts to collect origin-destination (O-D) data at all 14 North Carolina airports. UNCC was responsible for the project management and data analysis. Street Smarts was charged with the task of collecting the data. When it comes to data collection of any kind, public officials care most about one thing, "How can we get the most useable data for the money we have budgeted?" It is a reasonable question that needs an innovative answer. There are really three elements in that question that demand attention: quality of data, quantity of data, and cost of getting that information. The North Carolina Airport O-D study was an exercise in achieving an optimal balance of all three.
