Abstract

Vehicle kilometer traveled often used to indicate levels of road safety.However, the previous survey on VKT data collection remains doubts as to the extent of the inadequacies due to low response and high cost.The main objective of this study is to compare online survey methods to develop an optimal survey strategy in data collection of the VKT data.This study has used the combination of a questionnaire by the online survey (Google Form) and social communication (WhatApps) survey.This study found that VKT online survey has a significantly higher proportion from the urban areas and a significantly lower percentage of the female respondent.Participants in the middle age responded better to the online survey.This study was suggesting that for the data collection on VKT by the mixed method (interview, telephone, mail, and online survey) strategy could use to increase a sample.
