Visibility Study
Traffic by the site or passage data is good to know, but how many of those people actually notice your hoarding?
The Visibility Study answers this question by overlaying the attention displayed by the outdoor audience on to the gross audience exposure
Using multiple regression, the relationship between Probability of viewing and site parameters has been modelled

over 50 field executives
Nine months of Traffic Count covering nearly 12 lakh data points using nearly 60 field executives

Outdoor Research Challenges
Lack of Site Level Data High fragmentation, ruling out collecting basic information
from site owners
Non-standard Formats & Sizes Over 200 different sizes at last count. Hoarding sizes are
standardized internationally
Resulting difficulties in classification of sites Site Location
No standard for erecting sites. Sites are located in some of the most inaccessible locations such as right middle of slums,
building tops etc. Taking site measurements such as latitude
longitude, height etc. is difficult.

Visibility Study Carried out to find out OTS at site level Internationally, this field is still in its nascent stage
and constantly under development even after 12
years. POSTAR conducted the first visibility study in
1996

On an average, a Mumbaikar makes 11 journeys in a week.
During these 11 journeys, he covers 49 stretches, thus, the stretches traveled per journey are 4.5
Modes Used provide distribution of different modes used by the respondent across 49 stretches. Note that this exclude modes such as train and bicycle.
We have considered a mode to be used even if it is used for only part of the stretch.
As is obvious, walk is the most common mode of transport followed by bus. Three wheelers and Car/Taxi occupy the next slots.

Summary of findings
Outdoor reach is close to print reach All classes show more or less equal propensity
to travel.
Men travel more than women. Working people and students travel more than non-working
Affluent people use more personal transport (cars, two wheelers etc.) and travel on more
