Generating Trajectories from Mobile Phone Data
The paper reports on a method which generates time-space trajectories of travelers by analyzing data from the mobile phone network. The method utilizes mainly the data from location-area-updates, which are recorded from any mobile phone in the standby-mode and thus does not require phone calls or handset equipment. The main idea of the method is to derive location-area-sequences for single trips from the mobile phone data and to compare these with location-area-sequences, which are based on routes through the road and rail network. The method generates a vast number of trajectories on highways and can be used for several applications in the field of transportation planning.
