TravelVu is a digital method for gathering high quality data on how people travel. The data is used to better understand how and why people move in order to plan and improve transport systems.
End users download the app and fill in some background questions. Algorithms in TravelVu analyse sensor data from the smartphone, which the user reviews and adjusts in the app. The algorithms gradually learn from these corrections and become better at guessing the right activity and means of transport.
The data collected is used by public authorities, private companies and research organisations in understanding how groups of people travel: when, where, how and for what activities.
TravelVu is currently available in English, Swedish, Norwegian, French, German, Italian and more languages can be added easily.
