As a newly-emerging travel mode in the era of mobile internet, ride-hailing that connects passengers with private-car drivers via an online platform has been very popular all over the world. Although it attracts much attention in both…
The rise of Uber as the global alternative taxi operator has attracted a lot of interest recently. Aside from the media headlines which discuss the new phenomenon, e.g. on how it has disrupted the traditional transportation industry, policy…
Citizen science biodiversity data present great opportunities for ecology and conservation across vast spatial and temporal scales. However, the opportunistic nature of these data lacks the sampling structure required by modeling…
Urban demand forecasting plays a critical role in optimizing routing, dispatching, and congestion management within Intelligent Transportation Systems. By leveraging data fusion and analytics techniques, traffic demand forecasting serves as…
In this paper, we present an unsupervised learning approach to identify the user points of interest (POI) by exploiting WiFi measurements from smartphone application data. Due to the lack of GPS positioning accuracy in indoor, sheltered,…
This study aims to propose an approach for spatiotemporal integration of bus transit, which enables users to change bus lines by paying a single fare. This could increase bus transit efficiency and, consequently, help to make this mode of…
While the overarching pattern of biannual avian migration is well understood, there are significant questions pertaining to this phenomenon that invite further study. Necessary to any analysis of these questions is an understanding of how a…
Pedestrian GPS data are key to a better understanding of micro-mobility and micro-behaviour within a neighbourhood. These data can bring new insights into walkability and livability in the context of urban sustainability. However,…
We demonstrate how digital traces of city-bike trips may become useful to identify urban space attractiveness. We exploit their unique feature - stopovers: short, non traffic-related stops made by cyclists during their trips. As we…
This study investigates the spatio-temporal patterns of Bike Sharing System (BSS) usage in six major cities: New York, London, Tokyo, Boston, Chicago and Washington D.C. By analyzing data over a 30-day period with comparable climate and…
Recently, the online car-hailing service, Didi, has emerged as a leader in the sharing economy. Used by passengers and drivers extensive, it becomes increasingly important for the car-hailing service providers to minimize the waiting time…
Digital services like ride sharing rely heavily on personal data as individuals have to disclose personal information in order to gain access to the market and exchange their information with other participants; yet, the service provider…
Human mobility is subject to collective dynamics that are the outcome of numerous individual choices. Smart card data which originated as a means of facilitating automated fare collections has emerged as an invaluable source for analyzing…
In our study, we seek to learn the real-time crowd levels at popular points of interests based on users continually sharing their location data. We evaluate the benefits of users sharing their location data privately and non-privately, and…
Extracting significant places or places of interest (POIs) using individuals' spatio-temporal data is of fundamental importance for human mobility analysis. Classical clustering methods have been used in prior work for detecting POIs, but…
With the emergence of e-hailing taxi services, a growing number of scholars have attempted to analyze the taxi trips data to gain insights from drivers' and passengers' flow patterns and understand different dynamics of urban public…
The increasing prevalence of location-sharing features on social media has enabled researchers to ground computational social science research using geolocated data, affording opportunities to study human mobility, the impact of real-world…
An important problem in creating efficient public transport is obtaining data about the set of trips that passengers make, usually referred to as an Origin/Destination (OD) matrix. Obtaining this data is problematic and expensive in…
Micro-mobility transport vehicles such as e-scooters are joining current sidewalk users and affect the safety and comfort of pedestrians as primary sidewalk users. The lack of agreed-upon metrics to quantify people's discomfort hinders…
Big, transport-related datasets are nowadays publicly available, which makes data-driven mobility analysis possible. Trips with their origins, destinations and travel times are collected in publicly available big databases, which allows for…
