The MobyApp is a personalized smartphone-based travel survey platform, multi-day data on travel and activity patterns for use in urban and transportation planning, modelling and analysis.
This platform is used by public transport authorities and other interested actors (i.e., companies or research organisations) to collect multi-day data on travel and activity patterns that are used for transport planning purposes.
Moby App platform consists of four key technology components:
- the Admin App, which creates and sets up all the surveys based on the needs of the client;
- the Client App, which provides a survey management tool to those who organise the survey (the clients of MOBY X) to supervise the progress of the survey and check key statistics of the collected data via infographics;
- the Mobile App (Android and iOS) that collects raw data, such as GPS, GSM, Wi-Fi and accelerometer. Also it enables users to see their activities/trip diary via the App; and
- the server that stores the collected data as well as contextual databases, and processes it using machine learning algorithms to detect trips and stops and infer activities.
