Sammendrag

Regional and national travel survey (RVU) has so similar methodology and content that most main results can be compared. There is no reason to say that some populations are significantly under- or overrepresented. Regional RVU however, lacks data for travel on weekends and has a data collection period less than an entire year. This is reflected in the results for purposes of trips and choice of transport means. Regional RVUs also have journey home as a separate purpose of trips. It is difficult to compare RVU data with traffic counts, when they count different entities. The experiments we can do to make comparable figures indicate that RVU and traffic counts "tells the same story."
