N2 - The objective of this deliverable was to provide preliminary results
from the analysis of mobility impacts from the TeleFOT project. Specifically,
the objective was to discuss the concept of mobility, to validate the
method proposed for mobility impact assessment and to pilot the mobility
research questions. Mobility is concluded to be the willingness to move along
with potential and realized movement rather than just physical movement of
vehicles, people and goods. Along with transport and infrastructure it
encompasses people's and road users' attitudes, opinions and choices in their
daily travelling and movement. The concept of mobility is versatile.
However, it is often reduced to transport or confused with accessibility or
efficiency. In TeleFOT, a travel diary was developed to meet the information
needs in order to address research questions and hypotheses related to
mobility impact assessment. Diaries are collected once in the before-phase of
the FOT and two or three times in the after-phase depending on the length
of the FOT. A supplement to the travel diary is filled in during the
after-phase travel diary data collection periods to collect essential
information about major changes in the mobility needs and possibilities of
the test users and their families due to factors other than TeleFOT
functions. Trips reported in the travel diary were compared to logged trips.
Travel diaries were returned by 73% of test participants. In general the
travel diaries were filled diligently by users, with 96% of travel diaries
returned fully completed. However, only 67% of all trips either reported in
the travel diary or logged were found in both data sets. Forty-one percent of
trips reported in the travel diary were missing the corresponding logger
data. Eight percent of logged trips were missing the corresponding travel
diary entry. An alarmingly high (18%) proportion of the logged data was trips
that were fragmented into several trips in the logger data. The pilot
analyses of the research questions indicated no problems for the final
analysis. All research questions concern a change in something. The change
itself could not be analysed based on the first data sets available for the
pilots. However, it was confirmed that most of the variables needed could be
obtained from the data. The analysis of route choice could not be piloted
yet, as map matching was not complete. In addition, a question related to
user uncertainty was added to the post-test questionnaires. The preliminary
results show no high expectations among the test participants. In conclusion,
the mobility impacts of TeleFOT functions should possible to analyse for the
final results as planned. More specific instructions were given for the
final analysis
