GPS-Cell Phones For Trip Data Collection: 

GPS-Cell Phones For Trip Data Collection A test of out-of-the-box technology Results and limitations A test of enhancements made to improve quality of data Additional suggested enhancements Is this technology ready for current use?

Accutrack & Enhanced Technology Test: 

Accutrack & Enhanced Technology Test Use of Accutrack All tests with small (and friendly) sample New York, Boston, Rural Vermont & New Hampshire Tests of Drive, Walk, Bike, Rail Enhancements Tested Phone-Side Software Server-Side Software

Out-Of-Box Technology - Accutrack: 

Out-Of-Box Technology - Accutrack General Requirement Motorola i730 iDEN handset Nextel unlimited data access plan Accutrack software installed on iDEN phone Link to Accutrack server View on website for “realtime” Download data for further analysis

Bike Trip Results: 

Bike Trip Results Commonwealth Avenue in South End of Boston One minute drop correctly represented captured bike trip route

Walk Trip Results: 

Walk Trip Results Boston Back Bay Station to a major downtown office building Some problems with Urban Canyons Locations not accurate to roadway Inferentially accurate

Car Trip Results: 

Car Trip Results Driving from White River Junction, Vermont to Boston, MA Cell coverage is spotty One minute was sufficient for highway trips Require greater precision for non-highway trips

RSG Enhancement: Cell Phone Software: 

RSG Enhancement: Cell Phone Software Data Storage and upload cache data on phone and upload when signal is strong Compress data on phone side to limit upload (same location). Dynamically alter location upload times based on speed & distance Assisted GPS for enhanced location information

Nightly Data Validation: 

Nightly Data Validation Recall using web-based tool Correction of routes Identification of stops Addition of meta-data Trip type Auto occupancy Other recall features Update respondent regarding phone battery Show history and support association to previous trips

Meta-Data Enhancements: 

Meta-Data Enhancements Collection methods Voice activated trip purpose information Voice prompting “is this a stop” Algorithmic post-processing Heuristics for linking O-D where either urban canyons or transit trips cause loss of data Probabilistic (Bayesian) models of activity and location based on web information of surrounding options
