This report describes the development and field test of an automated data collection device that includes Global Positioning System (GPS) technology for the collection of personal travel data. The resulting travel survey methodology offers a more robust data source for defining personal travel than current methods, which rely on telephone interviews and daily travel diaries. While this technology is not expected to supplant current data collection methods, this proof-of-concept development, field test, and subsequent analysis of collected data demonstrate that this approach has merit with respect to more clearly defining personal travel behavior.
