The main objective of our research is to measure the impact of Asuncion, Paraguay’s first BRT system on travel behavior. Because we will be tracking changes in travel behavior, it is necessary to produce “baseline” knowledge of travel behavior before the completion of the project, which is now underway. From June to August of 2018, we constructed this baseline by disseminating surveys to residents of the Asuncion Metropolitan Area about their travel behaviors, and by using a mobile app, Emission, to collect individual travel data.
