About this Event
In this talk we present a methodology for combining public transport smart card data with mobile network data and survey data to measure travel demand in metropolitan areas applied to Bogotá, Colombia; Medellín, Colombia; Buenos Aires, Argentina. The proposed methodology was developed as part of a World Bank (WB) initiative to support post-pandemic transport planning activities in Latin America.
The travel demand patterns obtained for different time periods from 2019, 2020 and 2021 enabled a detailed characterisation of the changes in trip generation rates, trip length distributions and modal choices during the pandemic, revealing key insights for improving the competitiveness of public transport in the new context (e.g., increase in remote working). This validated methodology provides a robust approach to continuously updating the mobility data needed for the set up and maintenance of digital twins, not only for public transport operations, but also for broader urban management tasks.
Bio: Javier Burrieza graduated as Civil and Territorial Engineer from the Technical University of Madrid (UPM). He holds a double master’s degree in Sustainable Urban and Transport Planning from the UPM and the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH). He carried out his Master Thesis on public participation and cycling planning initiatives in collaboration with the Division of Urban and Regional Studies of KTH, looking at the cases of Stockholm and Madrid. After an internship in the Operations department of Grupo Ruiz, a Spanish bus operator, he started his professional career as a transport and mobility analytics consultant at Nommon in early 2018. As a consultant, he participated in more than 15 project exploiting Nommon’s analytical solutions for extracting mobility indicators from big data sources, such as mobile network data and public transport smart card data. Between 2020 and 2021 he was in charge of Nommon’s Transport Systems Unit, where he led a variety of research and consulting projects dealing with the application of big data to transport modelling. In 2022 he joined the Business Development department to lead the conceptualisation of new products and services
