The use of mobile phone data in transpor- tation studies is more recent; early studies go back a decade or so (e.g., Caceres et al., 2007; González et al., 2008). However, the use of mobile phone data is increasing rapidly. GSM and GPS data generated by phones are used for analysis varying from determining the average speed at certain road sections to gathering revealed preference data of travelers regarding their travel behavior (e.g., mode and route choice). The majority of currently used tracking data is related to mobile phones as the majority of the population is using one, and mobile network coverage is extensive in most countries. Such mobile posi- tioning data features much better geographical and temporal coverage http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Urban Technology Taylor & Francis
