Résumé
CATI (Computer-Assisted Telephone Interview) software has been developed for many uses, and transport surveys are benefiting from these instruments since at least a decade. Worth mentioning are the Quebec (CTCUQ in 1986, 1991 and 1996), Toronto (Tomorrow Transportation Surveys in 1986 and 1991), Vancouver (Canadian Facts, 1992), and Montreal (STCUM in 1987, MTQ-STCUM in 1993) experiments where direct data entry or automated geo-coding have been implemented to obtain quality Origin-Destination data to supplement more or less sophisticated network planning simulation packages. More recently, Lam and Lum (1998) have demonstrated the development of an integrated and computerised household interview system on micro-computer, but without the capability related to interactive geo-coding supported by suitable GIS databases. Moreover, some of the best transport survey researchers and practitioners (Ampt, Ortuzar and Willumsen, 1998) are putting forward strong methodological recommendations for the design of origin-destination survey in large metropolitan areas: beside arguing for a continuous method, they recommend a GIS basis of recording origin and destination data. Somewhat surprisingly, the majority of these advanced technical features have been implemented very recently in the Montreal survey design.
This paper is a demonstration of "the making of" the latest Origin-Destination Survey held in the Greater Montreal Area in the fall of 1998. This survey was conferred an innovative character by the introduction of new integrated information technologY closely assembled with existing transportation planning tools. New capabilities were incorporated in the procedural scheme using Geographic Information System for Transportation which allows integration of large networks and highly-detailed territorial databases.
Focus is at first set on the technological and procedural context which prevailed during the development and realisation stages. Keeping in sight the historical context of Origin-Destination survey in the Greater Montreal Area, the technological environment designed for the 1998 experience is presented, namely the major screens and integrated capabilities of the software suite MADQUOI-MADASARE-MADVIJIE. |
