Pilot Trial of a Transport Crowdsourcing Smartphone App

In this project a smartphone app was developed to collect real time information on journey quality and value of time during journey. A two-week pilot trial of the app was conducted to determine the feasibility and validity of obtaining information from participants at different journey stages. In addition, the results of literature reviews on crowdsourcing, social media, value of time, and mode detection using smartphone data are discussed.
