User Behaviour Captured by Mobile Phones

Abstract

Abstract. The i-Zone initiative proposes a new approach to urban mobility management by using the latest mobile ICT technologies. It is about mobile phones that measure and analyse user behaviour in order to influence travel behaviour. By providing feedback to the traveller (self monitoring), by information sharing, or by providing positive incentives to travellers by road authorities and other stakeholders, improved mobility in a city may be achieved. The information is targeted on individual travel behaviour, and thus allows a personalized approach to influence travel behaviour. This enables a shift from a focus on intelligent transport systems, with the emphasis on infrastructure and car-to-car systems, to a more human-centric approach based on ambient intelligence.

Tripzoom

“…It is developed in the European FP7 project "Sustainable Social Network Services for Transport" (SUNSET) [11] to investigate how mobility monitoring, incentives, and social networking can be combined to motivate users to change their daily mobility behavior and to make it more sustainable. tripzoom uses the sensing capabilities of mobile devices to create individual mobility profiles with details about trips, places, mobility patterns, and transport modalities (Figure 1c), similar to TravelWatcher [12]. Based on this data, tripzoom motivates users to change their usual mobility behavior by offering incentives that match their interests and preferences.…”

Uma nova abordagem energética da mobilidade urbana

“…Há na literatura diversas menções sobre a custosa e morosa forma convencional de se obter dados sobre a mobilidade urbana de uma cidade, geralmente realizada com periodicidade maior que anual, e sobre o surgimento de novas formas de obtenção, como por exemplo, através do rastreio de telefones móveis equipados com GPS (AXHAUSEN, 1998;ETTEMA et al, 1996;JARIYASUNANT et al, 2011;BARTHELEMY, 2011;STENNETH et al, 2011;TEEUW et al 2011;COTTRILL et al, 2013;FENG & TIMMERMANS, 2013;WANG et al, 2013;IQBAL et al, 2014).…”
