Statistics on commuting: merging big data and official statistics
Using traffic sensor data targeting for commuting times and distance
The project produced new commuting time estimates based on many data sources. Models are based on comparative studies and built for both commuting time and distance by driving, cycling and using public transport within the national route network.
Project Objective:
Pilot intended to go to production to supplement existing data, For the production of statistics, Scientific / research
Project Outcomes:
The new database includes the following variables: Commuting distance and time by private vehicle, Cycling distance and time, Public transport commuting distance and time (in the whole country), and Capital Region Public Transport commuting distance and time.
