The Texas Department of Transportation is working to make travel surveys more accurate. They looked at problems with data collection and errors in the surveys. They found issues like mistakes in how the surveys were done and people not answering the surveys. These problems can affect how well the data can predict travel patterns. The researchers studied how to fix these issues and came up with suggestions to make future surveys better.
