Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for generating real-time or near-real-time transport modality statistics by correlating mobile network and public transport location data are provided. In an example, a processing node may perform a method using one or more processing circuits, the method including identifying paths traveled by multiple vehicles and determining paths traveled by multiple subscriber telecommunications devices of one or more network or service providers. In addition, the method may include correlating the paths traveled by the multiple vehicles and the paths traveled by the multiple subscriber telecommunications devices to determine which one or more modes of transportation each subscriber telecommunications device used over the path traveled by the subscriber telecommunications device. Corresponding apparatus, computer programs, and signals are also described.
