Abstract:<br />

This research project is based on a recent opportunity to track down identical phone numbers from the<br />

three most recent household travel survey samples <strong>in</strong> order to construct a pseudo panel <strong>of</strong> households.<br />

Because no nom<strong>in</strong>ative <strong>in</strong>formation is available <strong>in</strong> the databases, specific procedures, <strong>in</strong>itialized with<br />

phone numbers, had to be developed to measure co<strong>in</strong>cidental <strong>in</strong>dices: same household? same place? same<br />

people? same trip patterns? same modal choice? etc. As a result, true medium term evolution <strong>in</strong><br />

demographic or household restructur<strong>in</strong>g, car ownership, trip rates, or public transport abandon time, can<br />

be assessed.<br />
