Field Expedition Routing and Navigation (FERN) is an IOS app funded by the Center for Bioenergy Innovation (CBI). It allows an end user to make trips to collect novel data points. It allows user to return to previously surveyed points to collect more data. It calculates the optimal route to use to sample points needed for return trips. A companion php/database application is required for full functionality. Links to this open source project are in the README. FERN can use the default GPS on an Iphone but it also optimized for Arrow Gold GPS. Other external GPS could be supported by modifying this code and adding the proper routines.

2011 Atlanta, Georgia, Regional Travel Survey

The 2011 Regional Travel Survey collected trip data from households across 20 counties in and around Atlanta, Georgia, to improve regional travel demand forecasts. The survey was conducted by PTV NuStats, GeoStats, and PG Americas Inc. on behalf of the Atlanta Regional Commission. The goal was to collect trip data from a minimum of 10,000 households with a subsample of 1,000 households providing global positioning system (GPS) data. The GPS add-on consisted of two sample groups. The first sample group was provided with GPS devices to install in their personal vehicles (797 vehicles) to collect the speed and location of a vehicle during an assigned study period. The second sample group (1,653 participants) was provided with a wearable GPS device to collect the speed and location of an individual during an assigned study period. People participating in the wearable add-on part of the study were chosen because their travel diaries reported use of public transit in day-to-day travel. Each GPS participant was grouped into either the spring phase (March to May 2011) or the fall phase (July to September 2011), and data were recorded for a maximum of seven days for vehicle units and three days for wearable units.
