| Abstract | Over the past few decades, several hundred travel surveys have been conducted within the United States, mostly by regional transit agencies and metropolitan planning organizations. The purpose of this report is to discuss a different kind of survey design that measure variation in travel behavior at the level of the individual household or person by taking repeated meaasurements on the same sample units at different points of time. The report begins by describing the differences between panel and cross-sectional approaches to the study of travel behavior. it then discusses the advantages and limitations of these approaches to data collections, identifies situations where panel data are desirable, and illustrates their benefits through examples drawn from transportation literature. |
