We investigate the kinematics of the thick disk population using photometric and astrometric sample surveys towards two opposite directions at intermediate latitude. A multivariate discriminant analysis (MDA) is used to distinguish the ‘Thick Disk’ from other populations with the help of the Besançon model of population synthesis. The data constrain the asymmetric drift of the thick disk population, which is found to be 40±10 km/s and does not depend on the galactic radius.
