provide insights on how transport planners can sense the movement of people more regularly, with reduced_x000D_
cost, and in a large scale, especially in circumstances where detailed mobility survey data are unavailable. For_x000D_
this purpose, this research will develop new algorithms for trip generation and distribution models using_x000D_
wireless network data. These models will then be validated using ground truth information. The outcomes_x000D_
from this study can potentially motivate transport planners in Canada to shift from costly and time consuming_x000D_
traditional planning, to a more data-driven planning process. This is relevant to TELUS in the context that_x000D_
cellular network companies are keen to leverage their data to develop innovative and new tools to improve_x000D_
