The document discusses various methods used for origin-destination surveys in traffic engineering. It describes roadside interview surveys, home interview surveys, telephone surveys, taxi surveys, and other methods for collecting data on vehicle origins, destinations, routes, and passengers. It also discusses analyzing the data for purposes like evaluating existing routes, locating new roads or parking, and regulating vehicle movement.

Definition:
It is the phase of transportation engineering
that deals with the planning, geometric
design and traffic operations of roads,
streets and highways, their networks,
terminals, abutting lands, and relationships
with other modes of transportation

10. HOME-INTERVIEW SURVEY
IN THIS METHOD RANDOM SAMPLE OF 0.5 TO 10%
OF THE POPULATION IS SELECTED AND THE
RESIDENCE ARE VISITED BY THE TRAINED PERSON
WHO COLLECT THE TRAVEL DATA FROM EACH
MEMBOR OF THE HOUSEHOLD.
DETAILD INFORMATION REGARDIND THE TRIPS
MADE BY THE MEMBERS IS OBTAINED ON THE SPOT.
THE DATA COLLECTED MAY BE USEFUL EITHER FOR
PLANNING THE ROAD NETWORK AND OTHER
ROADWAY FACILITIES.

THE PROBLEM OF STOPPING OF VEHICLES AND
CONSEQUENT DIFFICULTIES ARE AVOIDED
THE PRESENT TRAVEL NEEDS ARE CLEARLY
KNOWN AND THE ANALYSIS IS ALSO SIMPLE.
ADDITIONAL DATA INCLUDING SOCIO-
ECONOMIC AND OTHER DETAILS MAY BE
COLLECTED SO AS TO BE USEFUL FOR
FORECASTING TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION
GROWTH.

17. TAXI SURVEY
LARGE URBAN AREAS USUALLY HAVE A
SIZEABLE AMOUNT OF TRAVEL BY TAXIS.
IN SUCH CASES, A SEPARATE TAXI SURVEY IS
NECESSARY .
THE SURVEY CONSISTS OF ISSUING
QUESTIONNAIRES OR LOG SHEETS TO THE
TAXI DRIVERS AND REQUESTING THEM TO
COMPLETE THE SAME.

QUESTIONNAIRES ARE HANDED OVER TO
EACH OF THE DRIVERS AT THE SURVEY POINTS
AND REQUISTING THEM TO COMPLETE THE
INFORMATION AND RETURN BY POST.

21. REGISTRATION NUMBER PLATE SURVEY
REGISTRATION NUMBER PLATE SURVEY
CONSISTS OF NOTING THE REGISTRATION
NUMBER OF VEHICLES ENTERING OR LEAVING
AN AREA AT SURVEY POINTS LOCATED ON THE
CORDON LINE.
BY MATCHING THE REGISTRATION NUMBER
OF THE VEHICLES AT THE POINT OF ENTRY
AND EXITFROM THE AREA , ONE IS ENABLED
TO IDENTIFY TWO POINTS ON THE PATHS OF
THE VEHICLES.

23. REGISTRATION NUMBER PLATE SURVEY
ADVANTAGES:
WORK DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH THE
TRAFFIC IN ANY WAY.
DISADVANTAGES:
LARGE NUMBER OF OBSERVERS ARE NEEDED
ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS CAN BE
COMPLICATED.
PREPARED BY: B.V.KACHHOT

24. TAG SURVEY
IN THIS METHOD AT EACH POINT WHERE THE
ROADS CROSS THE CORDON LINE, VEHICLES ARE
STOPPED AND A TAG IS AFFIXED ,USUALLY UNDER A
WIND SCREEN WIPER.
THE TAGS FOR DIFFERENT SURVEYS STATIONS HAVE
DIFFERENT SHAPES/COLOUR TO IDENTIFY THE
SURVEY STATION.
THE VEEHICLES ARE STOPPED AGAIN AT THE EXIT
POINTS WHERE THE TAGS ARE REMOVED.
THE TIME OF ENTERING AND LEAVING THE AREA
MAY BE MARKED ON THE TAGS IN ORDER TO ENABLE
THE JOURNEY TIME TO BE DETERMINED
PREPARED BY: B.V.KACHHOT

25. ADVANTAGES:
THIS METHOD IS SIMPLE AND ERROR ARE NOT
VERY LARGE.
DISADVANTAGES:
IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO HANDLE ALL THE
VEHICLES, SAMPLING MAY BE RESTORED TO
DONE.

26. PUBLIC TRANSPORT SURVEYS
IN THIS METHOD INTERVIWER MAY ENTER
THE VEHICLE AND CARRY OUT THE
INTERVIEWS WHEN THE VEHICLES IS IN
MOTION.
POST-CARD QUESTIONNAIRES ELIMINATE
DELAYS, BUT ARE LIKELY TO EVOKE POOR
RESPONSE OR CONTAIN AN ELEMENT OR BIAS.
THESE QUESTIONNAIRES MAY ALSO BE
COLLECTED AT THE STATIONS INSIDE THE
SURVEY AREA.

COMMERCIAL VEHICLE SURVEYS ARE
CONDUCTED TO OBTAIN INFORMATION ON
JOURNEYS MADE BY ALL COMMERCIAL
VEHICLES BASED WITHIN THE STUDY AREA.
THE ADDRESSES OF THE VEHICLES
OPERATORS ARE OBTAINED AND THEY ARE
CONTACTED .
FORM ARE ISSUED TO DRIVERS WITH A
REQUEST THAT THEY RECORD PARTICULARS
OF ALL THE TRIPS THEY WOULD MAKE.
