Abstract:

This paper seeks to add to the growing body of literature on effective travel survey practices by assessing the implementation of a license plate survey, with automated data collection. The authors use a case study approach to conduct an empirical assessment of the implementation of a license plate survey in the Nashville metropolitan area. In the Nashville External Travel Survey, video technology and microcassette recorders were used to record license plate numbers for passenger vehicles. The data collection methods and survey outcomes are presented. Conclusions are drawn as to the utility of automated technologies for external surveys and recommendations are made for conducting external surveys in the future.
