Exploring alternate traffic circulation effects in Île-de-France Region using aggregated mobile phone data: is it still useful to use mobile phone data?
International audience; During the last decade, the usefulness of passive mobile phone data for the study of urban mobility have been investigated by different research communities. Mobile phone data have many advantages, among them, a passive collection process and the availability of mobility data during a continuing period.However, at the moment in European Union due to an increasing concern in privacy issues, these data are aggregated per hour and antenna. We assume that this kind of data, despite their aggregation level, have still a large utility in studying urban mobility.To answer this issue we use a 12 months mobile phone dataset from the french mobile operator Orange. We will expl…
Suitability Of Cellular Network Signaling Data For Origin-Destination Matrix Construction: A Case Study Of Lyon Region (France)
TRB 2019, 98th Annual Meeting Transportation Research Board, Washigton, D.C., ETATS-UNIS, 13-/01/2019 - 17/01/2019; Spatiotemporal data, and more specifically origin-destination matrices, are critical inputs to mobility studies for transportation planning and urban management purposes. In this paper, we propose a methodology to infer origin-destination (O-D) matrices based on passively-collected cellular signaling data of millions of anonymized mobile phone users in the Rhône-Alpes region, France. This dataset, which consists of records time-stamped with users' unique identifier and tower locations, is used to first analyze the cell phone activity degree indicators of each user in orde…
