• Abstract:
  There are three tasks for this research : 1. Methodology to extract Road Usage Patterns from Phone Data: We combined the most complete record of daily mobility, based on large-scale mobile phone data, with detailed Geographic Information System (GIS) data, uncovering previously hidden patterns in urban road usage. 2. Methodology to analyze GPS data for Control of Bus Performance: We investigated the potential of "low-frequency" bus localization data for the monitoring and control of bus system performance. And 3. Inferring Land Use from Mobile Phone Activity: The locations and communication patterns of millions of individuals are recorded alongside information about the function of the places they go.
