Live-recording of keynote: “What Internet panel surveys can learn from the design of smartphone-app studies.” Several studies have explored using smartphone-apps as a way to collect social and behavioral data. Some notable successful studies have in recent years been conducted in the context of travel behavior, time use, household consumption, or ‘in-the-moment’ attitudinal measures about a variety of subjects. One characteristic of smartphone studies is that they follow participants over a period of time to measure (short-term) changes.

General Online Research conference

Pre-recorded conference presentation: “quality of measurements from smartphone travel-app study” Smartphone apps are starting to be commonly used to measure travel behaviour.

In this presentation, we report on a large fieldwork test conducted by Statistics Netherlands and Utrecht University in November 2018.
