Have you noticed that relying on registry, survey or even ticketing data for transportation planning is difficult? Transportation planners use mobile positioning data (MPD) as a source of complete and structured information on population movements.

MPD provides information on movements structured according to the estimated trip purpose as it shows the aggregated locations of homes, working time locations and all other regularly visited locations, their visit order and visit times. With it you learn about population mobility from hourly, daily, weekly and seasonal patterns to support the creation of timetables in accordance with real travel demand. MPD offers the most up-to-date insights with the largest sample, and historical data available.
