Abstract
A method of determining traffic in a subway system. The method comprises analyzing a first type of location data associated with mobile communication devices to determine subway entry points and subway exit points of the devices, analyzing different pairs of entry and exit points to infer probabilities that a device transits between a pair of entry points by different routes based on a WiFi SSID included in the first type of location data, analyzing a second type of location data associated with mobile communication devices to identify entry and exit points of the devices based on a cell site identity included in the second type of location data, for each pair of entry point and exit point associated with the second type of location data, determining a fractional route count for the device transiting between the entry and exit points for each different subway route based on the inferred probabilities.
