This proceedings gathered by the National Academy of Sciences has focused on survey data, its collection and use. Five research papers are included: "Problems of nonreported trips in surveys of nonhome activity patterns;" "Estimation of cross-cordon origin-destination flows from cordon studies;" "Toward improved collection of 24-h travel records;" "Assessing day-to-day variability in complex travel patterns;" and, "Monitoring and evaluation of state highway systems."

This research paper is a compilation of seven documents which focus on the application and use of transportation data. The following papers are included: "Field data collection and sampling procedures for measuring regional vehicle classification and occupancy;" "Techniques for monitoring automobile occupancy: research in the Seattle area;" "Georgia's evaluation of Federal Highway Administration procedures for estimating urban vehicle miles of travel;" "Travel data from the U.S. Census: a new foundation for transportation planning;" "Workplace interviews as an efficient source of travel survey data;" "Design of small-sample home-interview travel surveys;" and "Use of travel diaries in collection of travel data on the elderly and the handicapped."
