摘要：	Long-distance travel has in comparison with its share of trip making (1% of all trips) a disproportionate impact in terms of miles traveled, costs and subjective importance. The lack of a reliable and compatible public data base for this type of travel at the European level has held back policy making in a number of areas: development of the Transeuropean Networks, airport investment and regulation/deregulation of railroads and airlines. The paper concentrates on two areas: examples from current long-distance travel surveys in the member states of the European Union (EU) and a discussion of the results of some recent methodological research on surveys of long-distance travel funded by the European Commission. A variety of recent national travel surveys (e.g., Austria, France, Sweden, Denmark and United Kingdom) have included long-distance travel, either in their regular questioning or in specialized extensions to the main survey. The paper describes the methodologies used and presents some key results in terms of amount of travel, modes used and distances covered. The large differences in the survey methodologies applied and the resulting difficulties in collating the results into a coherent European whole have convinced the European Commission to support research into the development of a uniform survey methodology for long-distance travel, in the first instance. Two major activities were undertaken: a series of surveys undertaken by national statistical agencies and a pair of substantial research projects within the 4th Framework Research Programme. The paper describes the research undertaken in both streams of work and discusses important substantive and methodological results. The final section of the paper presents the current state of discussion about a possible EU-wide survey of long-distance travel behavior.
