The Danish value of time study launched by the Ministry of Transport and Energy encompasses three phases: Phase 0: A preliminary study determining the methodology and providing recommendations for data collection and analysis1. Phase 1: Data collection and preliminary analysis.2 Phase 2: Establishment of the official value of time. Phase 1, called DATIV (Danish Value of Time in Danish) has been realised by a consortium composed by TetraPlan, Rand Europe and Gallup. The output of Phase 1 is a data set of around 7000 Stated Preference (SP) interviews together with some preliminary analyses and a weighting procedure, designed to obtain representative values for the whole Danish population.3 Phase 2 is carried out by The Danish Transport Research Institute (DTF) and concentrates on the statistical and economic analysis. The output is official values of time to be used in cost benefit analysis of transport projects. This note presents descriptive statistics for the data used in Phase 2. Section 2 presents details on the sampling of respondents and the experimental design, while Section 3 describes the different steps in the data cleaning/checking. Section 4 presents the statistics of respondents, their trips, and the SP design. Section 5 concludes the note.
