Abstract:

The spatio-temporal behavior data of residents is an important quantitative basis for studying socio-economic development, urban space and transportation demand. Domestic spatio-temporal behavior surveys mainly focus on transportation and trips, while the residents’ activities data has not yet been effectively collected. In comparison, researchers in foreign countries have developed diversified types of surveys, such as household travel survey, activity-dairy survey and time-use survey. This article reviews the development of surveys on residents’ spatio-temporal travel behaviors overseas, including survey content, design, and implementation methods and techniques. It aims to provide reference for Chinese researchers to build up a better spatio-temporal behavior survey system. It concludes that the survey developed by the evolution of traffic research paradigm, residents’ time-use and activity pattern research. The core of the survey shifted from travel to activity. The questionnaire includes many types of diaries such as travel diary, activity diary and time-use diary. Furthermore, the methods and techniques upgraded from cross-sectional surveys to repeated cross-sectional surveys and panel surveys, and from traditional survey techniques such as paper and pencil interviews to computer-aided surveys, network surveys, positioning technology-aided surveys and other technical forms.
