How to Use Technology to Understand Human Mobility in Cities?

Learn how human behavior analysis influences mobility and transport infrastructure. Find out how current technologies such as the Internet, GPS, and mobile devices enable greater and accurate data collection (compared to manual counting) that can assist in urban transport planning, particularly the design of complex transportation systems and reducing congestion.

How to Use Technology to Understand Urban Infrastructure and Human Mobility

About 44 million people are being added to Asia's urban population every year, or roughly 120,000 people per day. This rate is expected to persist since 80% of the region's economic growth will be in urban areas. More than ever, there is great impetus to improve mobility and transport in Asia's cities. The latest and other emerging technologies in urban mobility, as well as simulation and satellite mapping, could hold the key to drive change.
