Mobility Data
Supply and Demand in Numbers
Mobile Network Data
...or also called 'floating phone data'. This data provided by mobile network operators is a great source for mobility demand estimation.
Smartphone-Tracking
Recording of movements via smartphone apps is an excellent way to gain insights on specific mobility patterns on an individual level.
Travel Surveys
Extensive surveys of representative population samples or other groups of participants is the typical path to gain knowledge of mobility demand.
Log Files
Log file evaluations of mobility-related apps and map services generate demand data e.g. as a origin-destination matrix.
Google Location History
Similar to smartphone tracking data participants of a travel survey can donate their mobility data through the takeout services of Google.
Booking Data
Public transport ticket sales or shared mobility booking data reveal a lot about transport demand and often they are openly accessible in MDS format.
