Abstract

In this paper, how a microcomputer and general-purpose business software were used in a small telephone survey of household travel behavior is discussed. Principal applications covered are (a) selecting sample households; (b) mailing to sample households; (c) scheduling interviews; (d) checking the status of each interview; (e) developing the completed interview data sets; and (f) reporting survey results. Staffing requirements and expenditures to complete the survey are also presented. This form of computing is well suited to data collection projects of this size.
