Annotation	The gender analysis of common travel surveys shows that the interpretations of the data, along with the questionnaires themselves, reveal biases and simplifications. Complex and differentiated trip chains with different purposes undertaken by people with childcare duties or care responsibilities for the elderly still remain unaccounted for. These biases and simplifications obscure crucial aspects in human behaviour concerning mobility, particularly the behaviour of carers in their everyday lives. It is obvious that a gender-sensitive approach is needed. A way to make up for this deficiency is to develop new surveying methods. The talk will provide insights in several applied pieces of mobility research conducted by the author and her team. These pieces function as case studies on how to integrate gender dimensions in research methodology and the research process as well as in the outputs, that are mainly recommendations for urban planning and public transport providers.
