New Technologies and Transportation Research: Applications of GPS in Travel Surveys

by Peter Stopher (Editor)

Overview

This research review discusses the most significant papers to have been published over the past fifteen years on the use of Global Positioning System (GPS) devices to measure person and vehicle travel. The carefully selected papers track developments in the use of GPS devices to record travel and document some of the latest applications in which GPS is starting to replace conventional self-report surveys.
