Norwegian National Travel Survey 2001

The National Travel Survey 2001 (RVU 2001) is the fourth national survey of travel behaviour conducted in Norway. The first was done in 1985, the next two in 1992 and 1998, as well as subsequent surveys being carried out in 2005 and 2009. The National Travel Surveys cover personal travel of all types, including short trips taken on a daily basis and longer journeys undertaken less frequently, as well as all modes of transport, including walking. The purpose of the National Travel Surveys is to obtain information on people's travel activity and travel patterns.

Data on the travel activities of the population is important for both national and local transport planning. The results are used as the basis for the development of transport models, estimates, exposure calculations in road safety work, and in a number of research projects. National travel surveys are also important for background comparisons and evaluations of surveys tied to more spesific modes of transportation or geographical regions,

The survey is made up of three files: Individuals, short travels and long travels. This is a merging of these.
