Digital breadcrumbs: Detecting urban mobility patterns and transport mode choices from cellphone networks

Detecting weak public transport connections from cellphone and public transport data Citation

Many modern and growing cities are facing declines in public transport usage, with few e cient methods to explain why. In this article, we show that urban mobility patterns and transport mode choices can be derived from cellphone call detail records coupled with public transport data recorded from smart cards. Specifically, we present new data mining approaches to determine the spatial and temp...

AllAboard: A System for Exploring Urban Mobility and Optimizing Public Transport Using Cellphone Data

Uncovering Digital Divide and Physical Divide in Senegal Using Mobile Phone Data

The mobile phone call detailed records (CDRs) distributed within the framework of “Data for Development” Senegal challenge were run through several processes that intended to anonymize all source users’ information while still providing sufficient and meaningful data to researchers (de Montjoye et al. 2014). For instance, the hourly site-tosite traffic data for cellphone sites is beneficial for...

Mobility Profiler: A Framework for Discovering Mobile User Profiles (TECHNICAL REPORT Version)

Mobility path information of cellphone users play a crucial role in a wide range of cellphone applications, including context-based search and advertising, early warning systems, city-wide sensing applications such as air pollution exposure estimation and traffic planning. However, there is a disconnect between the low level location data logs available from the cellphones and the high level mo...

Evaluating the relationship between land use patterns, and the parameters affecting the sustainability of urban transport (case study: Kermanshah city)

Aims & Backgrounds:This article evaluates the relationship between land use patterns and sustainable urban transport indicators in Kermanshah City.and that tries to answer these questions as to whether there is a connection between the characteristics of density per unit area with walking tendency as a sustainable transport mode? Is there any relation between traffic safety and traffic relaxati...
