Effects of VAAs on voting behaviour

Post by asimj1 »

The ONS methodology does not expand on the manner in which mode of transport was assigned and so it is assumed to be modelled on existing data about journeys between the home-workplace location pair. If this assumption is correct, it is a sign of weakness in the methodology; we’d be modelling modal splits based on modal splits from older censuses, which would be increasingly out of date. That’s not a particular criticism of the journey-to-work data however, it is an inherent problem spain rcs data in administrative data and big data solutions where individual level identifiers (which would permit data to be linked together) are not known, or cannot be used.

The many possibilities offered by VAAs’ collected data for the analysis of voting and
The political learning that comes from the usage of technological tools.
The keynote speeches were given by practitioners who added to the debate with real-life stories about how they deal with the public, spreading information about voters and citizens on a daily basis.

In principle, phone data could indicate not only ‘resting’ locations but something about the journey between those locations as well – the time taken and some details of the route (based on a series of cell-tower connections). These elements could perhaps allow a much more sophisticated estimate to be made about the transport mode, although the data themselves would be significantly more complex to process. However, some types of journey to work flows cannot be captured well by either the basic methodology or by more sophisticated tracking – including people working from home and people with no fixed workplace.
