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.
