Abstract

I will talk about how Smartphone apps can be used to collect data critical for urban transportation planning, and particularly about the application, DataMobile.  I will also talk about the development of data inference methods and the long-term goal of completely passive inference.  I will talk about studies at Concordia, a Canadian 5-city study, a study in Accra, Ghana, and a study in Montreal.
