The papers extend discourse on broad topic areas that have been addressed by the ISCTSC in previous conferences, provide an update on travel survey initiatives currently under way in many countries, and offer a glimpse into the future in the form of changing contexts, new topics, new technologies, and new standards from around the world, with an emphasis on standards and future research directions. This book is not a conference proceedings, but was derived from papers that were a part of the 7th International Conference on Travel Survey Methods, held at Playa Herradura, Costa Rica, during August 2004 Notes Selected and rev. papers and summaries of workshop deliberations, from the 7th International Conference on Travel Survey Methods, held Aug. 1-6, 2004, in Herradura, Puntarenas, Costa Rica Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Print version record Subject Choice of transportation -- Research -- Methodology -- Congresses Surveys -- Methodology -- Congresses BUSINESS & ECONOMICS -- Industries -- Transportation.
