Analysis of cross-border traffic for large cities using multiple data sources and new technologies

Within metropolitan regions planning agencies show vital interest to receive information on commuting traffic between city centers and suburbs. To collect this data traditionally expensive surveys had to be carried out which are quickly outdated. The authors developed an analysis framework which uses multiple, passively created and continuously available data sources to receive travel information with less effort to allow a cost-effective annual monitoring of trips passing the city boundaries. Therefore, the authors synthesized floating phone data (FPD) and origin-destination (OD) matrices with traffic and passenger counts. The method presented in this paper shows reasonable results for mobility indicators at the city border. The analysis also indicates some shortcomings of the method but the total effort of data collection and data analysis can be reduced receiving valuable mobility information.
