Model target group:

OOH campaign planning at AMS Metrics concerns the whole population of cities included in the model. The ability to develop reach is limited with immobility ratio.

 

GUS (Central Statistical Office)

Central Statistical Office is the public administration body dealing with gathering statistical information on majority of public and selected private activities.

 

IBO (Outdoor Research Institute) – Instytut Badań Outdooru IBO Sp. z o. o. More: www. outdoortrack.pl

 

IGRZ (Outdoor Advertising Chamber of Commerce)

Outdoor Advertising Chamber of Commerce is an organization representing OOH media owners. More: www.igrz.com.pl

 

IGKM (Urban Transport Chamber of Commerce)

Members of the Chamber are mainly carriers and passenger organizers in cities, regardless of the form of organization (budgetary establishments, limited liability companies, joint-stock companies). The Board also includes the manufacture of rolling stock, repair, research institutions and other companies that provide services to public transport. More: www.igkm.pl

 

Daily busback campaign's mileage [km]

Arithmetic product of number of busback and avarage daily mileage of bus in a public transportation network in a given agglomeration where AMS busback offer operates. Source of the avarage daily bus mileage: IGKM (Urban Transport Chamber of Commerce).

 

Number of contacts

Number of contacts generated in an out-of-home campaign in the model target group.

 

Number of media in campaign:

Number of media of a given type determined by AMS Metrics user during the OOH campaign planning process.

 

Allocation of media number to cities:

Number of media of a given type recommended by AMS Metrics model for allocation to cities selected in the campaign.

The recommended allocation of media number to individual cities is based on such factors as: transportation potential of the residents; number of system media in each city.

 

City population in AMS Metrics - number of people in age 15-65 living in meausured cities.

 

City population:

Number of city residents (not the whole agglomeration), determined on the basis of the national census conducted by the Central Statistical Office. www.stat.gov.pl

 

Bernoulli binomial distribution:

Bernoulli binomial distribution is a statistical model used at AMS Metrics to calculate the probability of encountering a media with the advertisement for a given number and type of media in a given city. The model takes into consideration such factors as: visibility adjustment ratio, immobility ratio, media types, number of media in a given city (IGRZ), number of media per 1 km of the street network, the length of the street network in cities (GDDPiA, BIT, departments of urban planning), average number of trips of city residents (BIT), monthly seasonality of traffic volume (traffic models), city populations (GUS).

Bernoulli binomial distribution is used in a mathematical determination of the probability of success in situations, when a large number of trials are made and the probability of success in each trial is known (in OOH is rather low). Such situation occurs in outdoor advertising campaigns. It is associated with a very large number of advertising media passed by everyday and a low probability of looking at the medium.

 

Monthly seasonality of traffic volume:

One of the important drivers of the traffic volume included in AMS Metrics model. It defines the variability of traffic volume throughout the year. A baseline month in traffic research is April. The value of traffic volume for this month is 1. In the case of the remaining months the value is either below or above 1.

 

Street network in kilometers:

The length of the streets in kilometers in the cities included in AMS Metrics model (source: The General Directorate of National Roads and Motorways, data from districts of the researched cities, BIT, data from public transport authorities). In AMS Metrics model it is used to determine the number of system media per 1 km of streets.

 

Average trip distance:

One of the important drivers of the traffic volume included in AMS Metrics model. The average distance of trips undertaken daily by a statistical resident of a given city determined through traffic research.

 

Average number of contacts per viewer

Shows how many times a member of Reach 1+ audience passed panels with a campaign to have at least one view to the campaign

 

Average number of trips:

One of the important drivers of the traffic volume included in AMS Metrics model. Average number of trips undertaken by an average resident of a given city determined individually for each city. Each city resident travelling from A to B undertakes X trips. For example, when going by tram and bus, he or she undertakes two trips. In traffic research terminology, travelling from A to B is defined as a journey. Each journey consists of one or more trips.

 

Visibility adjustment ratio:

AMS Metrics assumes a decrease of the likelihood of looking at a poster of a campaign by 93.75%, i.e. the visibility adjustment ratio is 6.25%. The ratio was calculated based on the following parameters:

1.    human view range

2.    positioning of outdoor advertising media in the view range

3.    positioning of outdoor advertising media along the movement direction.

 

Immobility ratio:

AMS Metrics model assumes that 5% of city residents aged 15-65 do not participate in generating traffic. These individuals include disabled and elderly people, persons temporarily staying outside of their residence, individuals undertaking trips shorter than 500 m, etc. 

Immobility ratio impacts the maximum level of 1+ reach. With the above assumption the maximum attainable 1+ reach of the OOH campaign is 95%.

1+ reach

Statistically estimated percentage of population that had at least one contact with the advertisement (looked at the campaign poster). When calculating 1+ reach ratio, the model takes into consideration visibility adjustment and immobility ratio.

3+ reach

Statistically estimated percentage of population that had at least three contacts with the advertisement (looked at the campaign poster). When calculating 3+ reach ratio, the model takes into consideration visibility adjustment and immobility ratio.

 

Outdoor Track – the research of OOH audience conducted by IBO based on Route methodology. More: www. outdoortrack.pl

 

Reach structure of the campaign:

AMS Metrics model determines media parameters only for reach-driven campaigns, i.e. where the media are uniformly distributed in each of the cities. The model does not provide for campaigns structured differently, e.g. focused on a single city district.
