Applying activity-travel data for the assessment of vehicle exhaust emissions: Application of a GPS-enhanced data collection tool Universiteit Hasselt

Carolien BECKX, Luc INT PANIS, Davy JANSSENS, Gerhard WETS
This paper describes the development of a global positioning system, enhanced data collection tool for the assessment of vehicle exhaust emissions. This involves the collection of activity and travel data on a personal digital assistant with built-in global positioning system receiver. By converting the second-by-second global positioning system based travel data into emissions, estimates are made of the exhausts produced by individual vehicle ...

We aim to quantify and compare (1) feasibility and (2) sampling issues between prospective and retrospective data collection specific to end-of-life research in long-term care settings. The observational Dutch End of Life in Dementia study (DEOLD; 2007 to 2011) used both prospective data collection (28 facilities; 17 ...

A framework for selecting a fit-for-purpose data collection method in land administration KU Leuven

The land community has come to believe that this problem is strongly related to the data collection process, where the use of highly accurate, expensive and time-consuming spatial data collection methods such as field surveying, is overemphasised. To overcome this, innovative spatial ...

Modeling the weekly data collection efficiency of face-to-face surveys six rounds of the European Social Survey KU Leuven

Understanding the dynamics of the data collection efficiency is key to developing strategies to increase response rates. In this article, we model data collection efficiency, specifically the number of completed interviews, number of contacts, ratio of completed interviews and contact attempts, and ratio of completed interviews and refusals, per time unit in the field. We apply this concept to the first six rounds of the European Social Survey. ...
