GEOCODING OF DESTINATION ADDRESSES FROM TRAVEL SURVEYS

In 1992, the Transport Research Centre designed and conducted the South-East Queensland Household Travel Survey for the Queensland Department of Transport. This survey took the form of a mail- back questionnaire survey which was sent to approximately 20,000 households in Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast. In this survey, destination locations were recorded by respondents by means of four variables: street address number, street name, suburb, and nearest landmark (or cross-street). Taking into account the location information supplied by respondents, and the capabilities of the MapInfo GIS program and associated databases, the paper outlines the development of a hierarchical process of geocoding based on full address matching, cross-street matching, landmark matching, sampling along a street and sampling within a suburb. The paper then outlines some of the problems encountered, and gives an indication of the accuracy obtained from the various geocoding methods.
