Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Transport and Planning Date 2014-04-30 Abstract Transport planners are starting to consider how "big data" retrieved from passenger smart cards, computers and mobile phones could improve the design of urban rail networks and timetables, and improve operations by predicting ridership.
