This paper reports on a GPS survey that was conducted in conjunction with the Sydney 2003/2004 Household Travel Survey (HTS), and was commissioned by the NSW Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA). The objective of the study was to collect GPS data that can be used to provide information about under-reporting of travel activities in face-to-face household travel surveys. Each year the survey covers approximately 5,000 households in Greater Metropolitan Sydney. The data gathered from these surveys is used to assist transport planners and has and is being used to re-estimate the Sydney Strategic Travel Model. Subjects were issued a one-day place-based travel diary and were aided by verbal activity recall in a face-to-face interview.
