This chapter describes a smartphone-based prompted recall travel survey that aims to collect more accurate data for transportation modeling. It details the design and implementation of the survey, including the smartphone app for the Android platform, the mobile phone-based prompted recall method, and the management, manipulation, and analysis of GPS data for trip characteristics imputation. The survey commenced in October 2013 and was a person-based pilot study designed to be collected over a week. Although it did not provide a statistically representative sample, the overall experience helps establish the various parameters and procedures for the development of surveys with similar initiatives. The chapter concludes with findings and lessons learned from this smartphone-based travel survey and suggestions for how future smartphone-based surveys might be prepared and conducted.

You have just called a friend about a planned trip to India and, magically, the latest flight and hotel offers are displayed on the phone. Immediately, the route to the planned destination is one click away, automatically displaying your home in the right place on the map, all based on individual GPS data – spooky, isn’t it? After arriving, the map on your mobile phone guides you to your destination, using AR (augmented reality) elements on your display. The software recognizes your location and identifies the surroundings such as street signs, buildings and intersections – as if it were going to have a life on its own. Rather reassuring is the possible future option of the American company Google, which will show you particularly well-lit routes to destinations in foreign countries – as if the app had an awareness of your fears. There we create foreign correspondence, simply by using a website service for translation – free of charge. You enter the text in your mother tongue, whereby the software learns from user errors and is constantly improving. The results are surprisingly good and I wonder to what extent the profession of translating will be- come unnecessary in the future – comfortable, but somehow also scary.
