A transportation network monitoring system may use handoff metadata from cellular telephone and other communication networks to monitor train movement, traffic density, and traffic movement within the transportation network. Many communication technologies have handoff protocols that change a mobile device's connection from one base station to another. In a transportation network, such as a subway, a subway train may have several hundreds of riders, each of which may have a mobile device. As the train travels along the track, the handoff characteristics of those mobile devices may be analyzed to determine several characteristics of the transportation network, including the real time presence and speed of the train, as well as estimating the number of passengers and even the number of available seats on the train.

Transportation network monitoring using cellular radio metadata

A traffic routing and analysis system uses data from individual cellular or mobile devices to determine traffic density within a transportation network, such as subways, busses, roads, pedestrian walkways, or other networks. The system may use historical data derived from monitoring people's travel patterns, and may compare historical data to real time or near real time data to detect abnormalities. The system may be used for policy analysis, predicted commute times and route selection based on traffic patterns, as well as broadcast statistics that may be displayed to commuters. The system may be accessed through an application programming interface (API) for various applications, which may include applications that run on mobile devices, desktop or cloud based computers, or other devices.
