2004 Kansas City Regional Household Travel Survey

The 2004 Regional Household Travel Survey documented the travel behavior characteristics of Kansas City residents to update the area's transportation model. The Mid-America Regional Council and the Kansas and Missouri Departments of Transportation sponsored the survey, which was administered by NuStats. Activity and travel information was collected for all household members, regardless of age, during a specific 24-hour period. It relied on the willingness of households to provide demographic information about its members and vehicles and to have all household members record all travel and activity for a specific 24-hour period. The study also included a subsample of household vehicles with global positioning system (GPS) devices. The objectives of the GPS component were twofold: (1) to provide an independent data stream of vehicular travel in order to measure the accuracy of the travel data reported over the telephone, and (2) to obtain details about those trips that were captured by GPS but not reported over the telephone, in order to derive a trip-correction factor.

2004年区域家庭出行调查（Regional Household Travel Survey）旨在更新堪萨斯城区域交通模型，记录了当地居民的出行行为特征。本次调查由美国中西部区域委员会（Mid-America Regional Council）、堪萨斯州交通厅与密苏里州交通厅联合赞助，NuStats公司负责执行。调查在特定24小时周期内，收集所有家庭成员（无论年龄）的活动与出行信息。本次调查依赖受访家庭的配合：受访家庭需提供家庭成员与家用车辆的人口统计信息，并要求所有家庭成员完整记录该24小时周期内的全部出行与活动情况。本研究还纳入了搭载全球定位系统（Global Positioning System，GPS）设备的家用车辆子样本。GPS子模块的研究目标分为两点：其一，提供独立的车辆出行数据流，用于评估电话汇报的出行数据准确性；其二，获取GPS捕捉但未通过电话汇报的出行详情，以此推导出行修正系数。
