Résumé
This paper discusses the emerging opportunity for innovative survey software in the transportation planning field. In the last years, an increasing number of transportation surveys were held by public organizations in the Greater Montreal Area: onboard transit Origin-destination surveys, surveys for cost and revenue allocation between transit operators, large-scale telephone-interviewed household transportation surveys. In response to a major need for more precise and accurate information on urban mobility, various computer-assisted tools were implemented in those processes as cognitive and technological assistant. A motivation for this article is to demonstrate successful implementation of survey software into processes presenting major evolving informational, technological and political challenges.
The Montreal technical community has a long tradition of conducting large-scale Origin-Destination surveys (70-74-78-82-97-93-98). This long-time involvement confirms the importance of those exercises in the planning processes. This paper first describes the various uses of mobility data to instrument planning, modeling, demand analysis, impacts analysis and information dissemination.
We then discuss the role of recent technologies such as GIS-T, interactive graphics and object-oriented database management to support computer-aided survey processes. |
