Introduction Passively collected mobile phone data has
shown promise as a low cost option for obtaining travel data: Speed data (Using Cell Phone Technology to
Collect Travel Data, Kyle Ward) Trip tables (Origin Destination Study using Cellular
Technology for Mobile, Al, Kevin Harrison) Freight Data (Freight Data Collection Technique
and Algorithm using Cellular Phone and GIS Data, Ming-Heng Wang, et. al.)
other Comparison of passively collected data
against traditionally collected survey data

Challenges Household surveys
behaviorally rich, but small sample size at TAZ to TAZ level
Small TAZ to TAZ observations limit our understanding of flows at the sub-district level
Many small MPOs cannot afford household surveys Trip distribution parameters are the most
challenging to transfer Passively collected data
Large sample size, but lacks behavioral richness

Findings and Recommendations Early data set – includes Sprint data only Great source of validation data Low cost option Lacks behavioral richness of household survey Larger sample than household survey Continuing improvements are needed Useful to validate an estimated trip table Add to toolbox
