<strong>D5</strong> <strong>Annex</strong> <strong>WP</strong> 4: <strong>ETIS</strong> DATABASE METHODOLOGY AND DATABASE USER<br />

MANUAL – PASSENGER DEMAND<br />

the same as the purpose of the trip chain. The origins and destinations of trips (also outside the<br />

EU and Switzerland) are geo­coded to a point in the area of the true origin or destination, not<br />

necessarily corresponding to a NUTS centroid, but at a resolution on the order of NUTS5. The<br />

SABE database will enable the correction of this geo­coding to the EU­standard NUTS centroid<br />

location.<br />

A summary of the data is provided by the following items:<br />

· Nationalities surveyed ­ EU 15 + CH = 16<br />

· Usable surveys ­ 86,251<br />

· Trips from Journeys, Excursions, Commutes ­ 144,011<br />

· Unique points (origin or destination) ­ 20,549<br />

· Unique OD Pairs ­ 101,591<br />

An observed OD Matrix of the observed DATELINE trips at NUTS0 level for all modes is in<br />

the appendix F. The observed mode share of the trips is:<br />

· Private car – 59,0 %<br />

· Tour bus/coach – 8,5 %<br />

· Air – 19,5 %<br />

· Ferries – 1,9 %<br />

The mode share and the distributions of trip duration and distance compare with other surveys<br />

of long distance travel (sampling is discussed in Peter Davidson Consultancy 2003).When<br />

weighted and extrapolated to the population of each country, the dataset exhibits much lower<br />

trip rates (trips/person/year) than national long­distance travel surveys have shown (compare<br />

with national surveys in Hubert and Potier 2003, Swiss Einkommen und Verbrauchserhebung<br />

SFSO 1998, INVERMO results for Germany in Axhausen and Frick 2004). The observed OD<br />

matrix therefore will just be used indirectly for the calibration of the synthetic <strong>ETIS</strong> matrix<br />

flows. Instead, the observed DATELINE matrix will seed the estimation of a DATELINE­based<br />

flow matrix, which will form a basis for comparison with the <strong>ETIS</strong> Base OD matrix.<br />
