Abstract: In this paper we present the findings of the 12th ISCTSC conference workshop on commercial trips patterns and demand for goods from firms and households. With discussions structured on 3 key dimensions (subjects of observation, indicators and factors of change), this workshop highlighted the complexity of observational methods combining household and company behaviors. Given this first conclusion, participants identified 2 methodological challenges for commercial trips observation: discussing the pertinence of traditional surveys regarding these forms of mobility and involving respondents in surveys on this complex and sensitive topic. Elements were presented and proposed in the perspective of limiting respondents burden specifically for company related surveys and tailoring survey methods specifically for fast changing behaviors such as e-commerce. An additional challenge identified by the participants was also the need for a better connection between freight and passenger reflexions.
