Using Combined GPS and GSM Tracking Information for Interactive Electronic Questionnaires

Obtaining transport data of good quality is one of the major demands in transport research. One attempt to increase data quality and, thus, data accuracy and availability is using new technologies. Much research has been done on GPS/GSM tracking technology and electronic questionnaires in transport research. This chapter will focus on parallel GPS/GSM tracking and adapted data collection with electronic questionnaires on mobile electronic devices. It has been shown that parallel GPS/GSM tracking is a good opportunity to complete incomplete GPS tracking data. The proposed GSM tracking approach based on a GPS/GSM database might only work in cities or dense areas because of density of GSM base transceiver stations and the size of the data base. Further tests will prove whether the proposed concept will be suitable on a larger scale and under everyday conditions as intended.
