| 1 | HH_ID | This field contains the Household ID. Each household that responded to the survey has a unique household ID. The ID is stored as a number that is up to 5 digits and is in the range of 1-15000. This ID allows survey response data in different tables to be related to each other. | ||
| 2 | Vehicle_ID | This field contains the Vehicle ID. Each vehicle in this table has a unique ID. | ||
| 3 | Model | This field contains the interpreted MODEL of the vehicle as determined by the TCHEP researchers from the text in the Make_Model field. The researchers made their best effort to determine what the correct model of the vehicle was from the text provide and in doing so may have correct spelling mistakes or interpret the vehicle make based on year, model and any other criteria available in the survey response. This data field contains an interpreted value. | ||
| 4 | Make_Model | This field contains the response to the specific part of survey question 40 that asked about Vehicle make and model. The response is typed in exactly as the respondent wrote it in their survey. If this field is left blank, the area was left blank by the respondent. | ||
