Introduction• Travel Activity Panel Survey
– 3 year, 3 wave in-depth panel survey– Concurrently running in 2 areas: Toronto and Quebec City– Total initial sample: 270 in Toronto, 250 in Quebec City– Uses a “reflexive” approach: survey method allowed to
change over time• We, as researchers, learn about the right questions to ask• Respondents experience panel conditioning… we can try methods
that require previous respondent experience

ILUTE
Substantive Objectives• Understand the process by which people schedule and
reschedule activities and travel
• Observe how activities, travel and the underlying scheduling process change or remain stable over time
• Compare decision processes in two different study areas, Quebec City and Toronto
• Provide an empirical basis for modelling

ILUTE
Methodological Objectives• Compare computerised versus non-computerised
survey methods
• Compare semi-structured qualitative interviews versus systematic quantitative survey methods
• Compare telephone-survey to face-to-face interview
• Test GPS units
• New measures of data quality
• Test CHASE on a medium-sized random sample

“What would you have doneif the ___mode were notavailable to get to thatactivity?”
How would it have affected:
•other activities the same day
•activities on other days

If a CHASE respondent makes changes to a routine activity, it is no longer considered routine
An OPFAST respondent simply reports their perception of whether an activity is routine

Effect of a one hourdelay in getting to an activity
2/3 of the time people anticipate that they can accommodate delays by changing the timing of the next activity within the same day

ILUTE
Conclusions• Unprecedented combination of in-depth surveys in a
longitudinal panel framework
• Many survey methods have been developed and tested
• We have sacrificed the ability to do clear “trend analysis” by changing the survey instrument.
• Opportunities for data analysis– Better understand the process of activity scheduling– Understand long & short term dynamics of activity/travel behaviour– Provide a better behavioural base for development of activity based
models

At the end of the week, respondents asked questions about flexibility of activitieswith respect to:
•Start time
•Duration
•Location
•Frequency
•Other people

Other Add-on Surveys• 30 Toronto respondents called for quality assessment
“did people take short cuts?”, “did they experience problems?”, etc.
• 12 Toronto respondents outfitted with GPS units for several days.
• Add-on survey of accessibility constraints of low income women

Understanding habits and routines is the first step to develop policies designed to change habits (like auto dependence)
