Abstract:

This paper examines how relatively low-cost global positioning system (GPS) receivers can serve as an important resource for data collection of spatial behavior. These GPS receivers can record spatial behavior with considerable accuracy, and their performance even compares favorably to that of mapping or surveyor-grade receivers. While the research focus is on commuter bicycle users and encounters special issues, the use of WAAS-enabled GPS is applicable to transportation and other urban and regional research. The authors discuss relevant issues related to the accuracy of the data. The authors also highlight other challenges and suggest strategies to resolve them.
