• Abstract:
  Aggregate location based–services (LBS), navigation, and point-of-interest (POI) probe data products (“aggregate products”) summarize temporal–location information that is originally collected from a probe at a finer, disaggregate spatial scale. These products are only available to end users in an aggregate format. They can rely on any form of probe source data as long as the data come with spatiotemporal information that can be meaningfully summarized vis-à-vis a larger study area or site. As such, they depend on whichever location-detection technology was used to generate their source of probe data (e.g., LBS, connected-vehicle [CV], and Global Positioning System [GPS] data from navigation applications [apps] and platforms; synthetic data; and transaction counts tied to specific business locations).
