Transport
Research
SurveyEngine software is are used in Transport travel for Feasibility and forecast usage, Benefit Estimation of willingness to pay for a new services and Prioritisation of service features.
Transport Planning and Modelling
Choice modelling is a core methodology in the planning and development of transport infrastructure. Uniquely combing both State-Preference (SP) methods where no data exists, with Revealed-Preference (RP), or actual travel behaviour, to produce accurate models for planning and change.
The SurveyEngine platform supports the SP part of this need, enabling the use of advanced experiment designs including:
- Information acceleration using interactive immersive layouts.
- Importing and generation of Ngene™ designs.
- Use of visual choice sets to explain new options available.
- Use of interactive experiment walk-throughs to level increase the understanding of respondents.
- Integrated Apollo Modelling for real time read on models during fieldwork

Mode Choice Studies
SurveyEngine's Choice Experiment software enables rapid and reliable construction of mode-choice experiments. Choice data can be used to predict share of trips made by mode and future share for novel travel options acertained before they are built. Our Software and in-house technical capabilities allow for:
- Labelled and unlabelled alternatives.
- Use of pivot designs to present cost, time and distance in ranges relevant to the respondents current situation.
- Importing and generation of Ngene™ designs.
- Dynamic adjustment of scenarios based on respondents’ behaviour.
Value of time and reliability studies
These studies are typically used to optimise toll fee structures and are a necessary part of any traffic and revenue study, and critical if developments are financed through bonds.
Data from these studies allows understanding and quantification of the monetary value travellers place on reliable travel or on the time saved.
The SurveyEngine supports these studies through:
- Pivot designs to vary travel times between reasonable thresholds.
- Real time calculations of trip lengths and cost.
- Running multiple experiments within a study to account for major differences in trip types.
