A large amount of information is required to model the complex trade-off processes between travel activities, non-travel activities and budget assignment at the individual level. This paper describes the development of a new survey design, which incorporates components of travel surveys, time use surveys and consumer expenditure surveys in an integrated format, which is expected to deliver a richer data set allowing deeper insights into individuals' activity and consumption patterns. The survey procedure and the incentives paid, which were necessary to obtain acceptable response rates, are also described. Results from two pilot studies using a trip-based and an activity-based diary format are presented. The paper examines to which extent the diaries have been capable of collecting the required data with high quality and response rates. The innovative "Mobility-Activity-Expenditure-Diary" is introduced and results of the main survey using this design are presented. Travel behaviour and non-travel activities were reported at high quality. Expenditures would require longer observation periods (and preferably not only telephone but also personal support in the survey process) to reduce unsystematic variations and to better capture individuals' long term equilibrium.
要在个体层面上对出行活动、非出行活动和预算分配之间复杂的权衡过程进行建模，需要大量信息。本文描述了一种新的调查设计的开发情况，该设计将出行调查、时间使用调查和消费者支出调查的组成部分以一种综合形式结合在一起，预计能提供更丰富的数据集，从而更深入地洞察个人的活动和消费模式。文中还介绍了为获得可接受的回复率所必需的调查程序和支付的激励措施。展示了两项使用基于行程和基于活动的日记形式的试点研究结果。本文考察了这些日记在多大程度上能够高质量地收集所需数据以及获得高回复率。文中引入了创新的“出行 - 活动 - 支出日记”，并展示了使用该设计进行的主要调查结果。出行行为和非出行活动的报告质量较高。支出方面则需要更长的观察期（最好不仅在调查过程中通过电话，还需要个人支持），以减少非系统性变化，并更好地捕捉个人的长期均衡状态。
