Norwegian National Travel Survey 2013/2014

The National Travel Survey 2013/2014 (RVU 2013/2014) is the seventh national survey of travel behaviour conducted in Norway. The first was done in 1985, the next five in 1992, 1998, 2001, 2005 and 2009. The survey provides information on transport resources and travel activity. It covers 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. 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 consists of three data files: "Personfil", "Reisefil" (yesterday's travels) and "Lange Reiser" (travelling over 100 km or travels to/from abroad in the last month). A merged file is available for everyone when ordered.
