• diary date survey throughout an entire calendar year


• reliable method for recording trips by combining postal and telephone survey methodology


• extremely large sample in order to regionalise the results(50,000 interviewed households in 2002 including add-ons)


• extrapolation of the traffic volume and the traffic performance differentiated by means of transport and purpose of the trips


• within the scope of additional contracts the optional opportunity of a trip analysis based upon a geo codification of the available trip information and apportion to the transport network
