rMove is a smartphone app designed for iOS (Apple) and Android that collects travel and trip information from invited participants.
rMove is compatible with iOS Version 14 and up, and Android version 5.1 and up. If you have an iPhone, you can check by going to "Settings", clicking "General" and then "About." If you have a phone running Android, you can check your Android version by going to "Settings" from your home screen and clicking "About phone".
We still want to hear from you! rMove allows for a smartphone-owning adult to provide travel information for one other adult without a compatible smartphone. Otherwise, your household can complete the survey online or by telephone.
Please call the toll-free survey phone number at 1-888-215-8106. You can complete both the recruitment and a one-day travel survey by speaking with an interviewer, who will enter your information into the system.
Llame al número de teléfono gratuito de la encuesta al 1-888-215-8106. Puede completar el reclutamiento y una encuesta de viaje de un día hablando con un encuestador que ingresará su información en el sistema.
The data collected by the rMove app on a smartphone can provide more detailed travel information than a typical travel log. For example, information such as the travel path for each trip you make is collected. These data can be used to evaluate congestion and route choice. It can also be easier for study participants to let the smartphone app record trips instead of trying to remember or write down all the details of when and where you traveled. All of the data collected on your smartphone is strictly confidential along with the information collected in the survey. A copy of this study's privacy policy is available
here.
Before your travel date, you will receive an email with information on how to download and activate rMove. Once installed and running properly, rMove will log your travel. A few minutes after you stop traveling, rMove will create a trip survey to ask for details such as how and why you traveled. You will also be asked a few questions at the end of each day. You can answer these surveys any time during the day, but please do not answer the questions on rMove while driving!
We ask that you download the rMove app before your household's assigned travel date. The app will automatically begin collecting trip data on your travel date (the first day of your "travel period"), and will automatically stop collecting data after seven days (the last day of your "travel period"). Once you complete all the surveys listed by rMove, you can uninstall the app from your phone.
We ask that adults in the household report when children travel with them (these trips are recorded on the adult's smartphone). We also ask that an adult report any additional trips a child makes that is not recorded by the app (such as riding the bus to school). It is very important that all travel for all your children are recorded on the project website! Many trips in households with children are made for the children's needs, and so it is critical that all their travel is accounted for.
Once all household participants have answered all surveys for your entire travel period, you have completed the smartphone portion of the study. We will email you after your travel dates are over with final instructions and to provide your gift card.
