Big data and mobility

Context

The development of information and communication technologies has generated a new resource: digital data. Millions of data items are collected daily by telecom operators and GPS navigation providers, offering new prospects in the area of travel. What does this data bring to the world of mobility? The Province of Walloon Brabant has launched a pioneering study into this with the participation of ICEDD.

Presentation of the Province at the annual meeting of Mobility Advisers (2017).
