Abstract

The 2012-2013 Delaware Valley Household Travel Survey collected data for multiple planning purposes such as the calibration of a new activity-based travel demand model. It features data from households across nine counties in the region, including southern New Jersey and southeastern Pennsylvania. The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) sponsored the survey, which was administered by Abt Srbi Inc. A sampling strategy was designed to recruit households for survey participation that would best represent overall regional travel trends. Households were selected randomly, but with special consideration given to under-represented geographies and transit propensity. On their assigned travel day, households were asked to record all trips made within a 24-hour period. Additionally, select households were chosen to participate in a wearable global positioning system (GPS) technology-based component of the study. A total of 811 participants wore the GPS system.

1988 Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission Household Travel Survey

Dataset Team, TSDC

The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission conducted household travel surveys in 1988 for the Delaware Valley region of Pennsylvania, which consists of Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties. The home interview travel survey was intended to measure the travel habits of area residents, and it generated needed information on trip generation rates, trip distribution, and model choice. This information was used for model calibration and validation on the trip generation, trip distribution, and model split models. The data includes demographic and socioeconomic details, as well as travel patterns, for 1,567 households. A total of 5,733 people reported a totalmore »« less
2000 Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission Household Travel Survey

Dataset Team, TSDC

This survey was conducted from March through December 2000 under the auspices of the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission and the Southern Jersey Transportation Planning Organization and funded through the Pennsylvania and New Jersey departments of transportation. Cambridge Systematics provided quality assurance under a subcontract to NuStats. The purpose of the survey was to obtain information about work and non-work trip generation, trip distribution, modal choice, and traffic assignment, as well as to obtain data on average vehicle occupancy. The dataset contains demographic and travel data on 5,677 households in the 14-county study area. Of those households, 4,217 were frommore »« less
