Project Description

TUTI (in association with I-view Pty Ltd and Consumer Link NZ) has recently been appointed by Auckland Regional Council to design and conduct the Auckland Household Travel Survey in 2006. The survey will cover the greater Auckland region, from Orewa in the north to Pukakohe in the south. The survey will be conducted in May-June 2006, and will obtain responses from 6000 complete households.

The format of the survey will be very similar to that adopted for recent travel surveys conducted by TUTI and I-view in Queensland and Victoria, Australia, and will be based on the use of a self-completion activity/travel diary for 1 day, supported by personal delivery and pickup of the questionnaires. The AHTS survey will use the Speedit program (Survey Program for Entering and Editing Data Involving Travel), which was recently designed for, and used in, the Melbourne Area Travel Survey conducted late in 2005. It will also use the HotSpot (Household Travel Survey Program for Operational Techniques) program which controls the logistics of the survey.

Further details about the survey can be found on the FAQ page for the survey on this website.
