Nevertheless, we discovered that each bus have a GPS receiver and the data is sent to a central facility in near real time by a 3G cellular network.data collection methodology : Real-time position data reported by the buses, updated every minute, plus other transport data, like stops location and bus routes, are made available by the city of Rio de Janeiro through the open data portal of the city (http://data.rio/en/dataset?groups=transporte-e-mobilidade). We collected these data because it represents the actual shuttle of the public transport vehicles, in addition to contribute to analyze and eventually share an expressive location data collection of a large number of vehicles. The collected data is from October, 2014, in a month period.sanitization : These are the raw data, only compiled all measurements performed per day.Tracesetcoppe-ufrj/RioBuses/RioBusesDataset of mobility traces of buses in Rio de Janeiro, Brasilfiles: 2014-10.zipdescription: Real-time position data reported by buses, updated every minute, from the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
