ABSTRACT: Digitalisation has enabled the introduction of many new services and research opportunities in the transport and mobility sector. Today we collect and process an enormous amount of information around daily human mobility and their activities, and exploit this information not only for transportation planning and management applications. This talk is intended to provide an overview of the unprecedented opportunities offered by new mobility data sources, big and open datasets especially for transport applications, and discuss the challenges to understand how to best leverage this data. The talk will particularly focus on different data currently being collected and analysed at the Mobilab transport research group and how they have been used in demand estimation and other applications. |
