Proposed biography part of the next French National Transport Survey 2007 Francis.Papon@INRETS.fr
Knowledge of mobility partly relies on household transport surveys. In France, such national surveys 1966 1974 1982 1994 Four cross-section points about the nation's travel behaviour. Change over time lacks: Monitoring of individual change in behaviour, Narrative of a history of mobility. For both of these aspects, biographic surveys can bring new field data. Biographiesfor sustainable mobility
Follow-up of panels Biography: asking persons how they have travelled for their lifetime Why? Understanding how and when changes have occurred Relating present mobility patterns to past practices Defining what a habit is Monitoring of individual change in behaviour
Example of longitudinal analysis(car rental) • 29% of renters in year t rent again in t+1 • 51% of renters in both year t and year t+1rent again in year t+2 • And so on • For a minority of renters, renting is a sustained habit • Multi-renters rent more often next year
Historical sources: describe the history of transport technology and the economic and social changes involved Biography: asking people which mode they travelled in years as early as 1930 Reconstructed past modal shifts, ajusted to existing points in time given by transport surveys according to location type, occupation, gender and age groups. Mobility transition from walking as the traditional main mode of daily travel to automobile, which occurred in France in the 1950s, before the first transport survey. Writing of mobility history
Example of historical sources Per day Cumulated traffic intensity on national roads, 1894-1965Sabine Barles, LTMU, PIE Seminar, 2004
North America km/person/day car air walking

In France, other topics, such as " Biographies and entourage" by INED in 2000-2001, or " History of life" by INSEE in 2003. Abroad, transport biographic surveys In the UK (Pooley and Turnbull, 2000) Switzerland (Axhausen, 2005). Biographic surveys
Example of biographic survey commuting, GB, Pooley & Turnbull
First version Tested in spring 2005 with a paper questionnaire Too complicated Added burden to interviewees at the end of the first visit New version To be tested with CAPI in spring 2006 Inspired from the former INSEE survey Based on a chronological grid where all events are recorded Proposal for next French NHTS 2007
Place of residence by municipality Number of motor vehicles (two- and four-wheelers) available in household Main activity(school or work) and place of activity by municipality Usual transport mode for commuting, or overall if no commuting occurs. Four elements
A few questions are asked about the interviewee's father and mother, including their own main transport means The oldest person in household is interviewed More time-depth
Grid to be filled Until 90 years old
It has been tested only with two INRETS staff Still requires official approval before being included in the final questionnaire for 2007. Odds are not good Conclusions
