Integration of various data sources provided a cheaper way to determine travel characteristics of Middle East Technical University (METU) campus commuters. Radio Frequency Identification system (RFID) data at the main campus entries enabled the study of private car users in detail. The results showed that the campus private car travel demand had a regular urban pattern with a morning peak around 08:00-09:00 and a more scattered evening peak starting from 16:00. Administrative personnel had sharper arrival and departure peaks, while academic ones had a more scattered departure pattern. Students had lagged arrival and departure peaks. Stay time analysis confirmed that 45% of trips lasted less than 15 minutes, especially during the peak periods. A small reverse commute pattern suggested the work trips originated in the housing units on campus. Gate security videos revealed the frequency of use of transit and paratransit services, as well as taxi and shuttles, additionally.

Determination of origin destination matrix of METU campus travelers using RFİD data
Altıntaşı, Oruç; Tüydeş Yaman, Hediye (null; 2014-10-21)
For development of any campus transportation policies for Middle East Technical University (METU), it was necessary to analyze the current level of campus accessibility among the campus commuters. Existence of a sticker-based access policy for the private car users and automated Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) control at all three campus entry locations made it possible to study the origin or destination of the private car travelers at METU. However, determination of the origin-destination (O-D) matri...
An analysis of the thermal performance of METU staff housing units and calibratıon of their simulated model
Bağcı, Mediha Özlem; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Architecture (2008)
The aim of this study was to investigate the thermal performance of residential units in the Middle East Technical University (METU) Campus, Ankara. The study was conducted on the unoccupied residential units to eliminate the occupant interventions. There were only three unoccupied residential units in the study period, hence sample was considered as randomly selected. Case study units were triplex row houses and all physical characteristics were identical apart from their orientations. The thermal performa...
Utilization of RFID data to evaluate characteristics of private car commuters in Middle East Technical University campus
ALTINTAŞI, ORUÇ; Tüydeş Yaman, Hediye (2016-01-01)
Analyzing travel behavior of Middle East Technical University (METU) campus users via traditional survey approach requires great effort. However, using Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) system installed at all the campus entry gates provided a cheaper and an effective approach to determine basic characteristics of the campus private car commuters. The RFID data combined with traveler details enabled the study of the arrival and departure car-based commute behavior of academic personnel, administrative p...
A descriptive study on the critical thinking levels of the students at the unit of English Preparatory School at Hacettepe University
Dayıoğlu, Seçil; Paykoç, Fersun; Department of Educational Sciences (2003)
The aim of the study is to examine the critical thinking levels of the students who attended Hacettepe University English Preparatory School in the academic year of 2002-2003. In this study, Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal Test, the information form and the English proficiency exam were used to collect data. The critical thinking appraisal test was administered to 300 students; however, only 193 students out of 300 returned their tests back. The data were analyzed through SPSS program. The results...
