Thanks Elaine for sharing, very interesting.

Following up on your item #2 from below, we @ the Atlanta Regional Commission recently completed our regional household travel survey, which features results visualization components of both the GPS sub-sample as well as the entire survey diary activities, thanks to Atlanta’s GeoStats for working with us on that. It is quite fascinating to actually see travel movement activities throughout the region, by trip / tour types, over the course of a day. This is great for daytime population travel patterns, which can be used for evacuation planning purposes, etc…

Simply go to:

Subject: [CTPP] Sharing prototype of travel survey data visualization tools developed by ORNL

http://nhts.ornl.gov/det/ Data Visualization Prototypes from Oak Ridge National Labs, for Federal Highway Administration

I don’t know how long these tools have been available on the NHTS website, but I found them a couple of weeks ago. I thought I would share the link because these ideas might be useful for :

1. People who are working on the Commuting in America project

2. People who have their own regional or statewide household survey and plan for interactive web-based data access tools

If you have questions about NHTS: a contact list is available here: http://nhts.ornl.gov/contactUs.shtml

If you have questions about the data visualization prototype, please contact Dr. Ho-Ling Hwang at hwanghl@ornl.gov
