Introduction
• Demand for efficient public transport systems
• Passengers have different mobility patterns
• Dynamic in time and space
• Insights required into: Interaction with the overall travel
demand: modal split
• Different datasets offer opportunities to analyse mobility

How can fusion of smartcard data and GSM data contribute
to the identification of spatial and temporal dynamic mobility
patterns of public transport passengers versus the overall
travel demand?

Data pre-processingAnonymous OV-chipkaart data
• Value: Passenger flow on a specific day, per hour, from origin to
destination (stop-stop)
• Nationwide (since 2012); tap-in and tap-out
• All modes: train, metro, tram, bus, ferry
• Only data of one public transport operator
• Completely anonymized data: no distinction of individuals
• 19 million smartcards; 42 million transactions every week

Data pre-processingGSM data
Value: Amount of visitors detected in a zone, on a specific day,
per hour
• Data from one network operator
• Algorithm to increase sample data to total population
• Distinction inhabitants or visitors
• Place of residence based on overnight stays per month
• Spatial level of detail: zone level
• Antennas have overlapping reach
• Difference occupancy between subsequent hours is a net
change

Data fusionOV-chipkaart data and GSM data of occupancy
• Spatial perspectives:
• Total of all zones
• Per zone
• Per Origin-Destination relation
• Temporal perspectives:
• Per day
• Per hour
• MPE: Mean Percentage Error

Rotterdam late evenings & early morningsContext
• Public transport supply related to overall travel demand
• Late evenings and early mornings
• Start and end of operations in line with respective increase and
decrease in overall travel demand
• Scenarios include long period of time
• January to May 2015
• Discrepancies measured with dynamic base scenario
• With respect to the previous hour

Several zones show potential market for
exploiting additional urban public transport
Conclusions and recommendationsCurrent data fusion methodology
• Added value
• Public transport usage versus overall travel demand
• Dynamic information in both time and space
• Identification spatial and temporal features of interest
• Results have to be examined in more detail
• Match supply according to the demand
• Improvements based on characteristics dataset
• GSM data: localisation-error
• Smart card data: linking data from multiple operators
