🚗 Traffic Flow Analysis Using Uber Movement Data 🔎

The proposed work presents a study of traffic flow in two cities (Bristol and Cincinnati) based on the Movement dataset provided by Uber. For each city, a temporal network defining the mean travel times during weekdays at different hours is provided along with a spatial graph defining the city structure.

The analysis is divided into two steps. Firstly, node centrality is computed in order to investigate traffic behavior throughout different times of the day in comparison to the topographic structure of the cities. Next, community detection is applied to identify travel clusters and regions with similar characteristics.

Data can be downloaded from the Uber Movement website, considering for Bristol and Cincinnati:

  • The Travel Times by Hour of Day (Weekdays Only) of 2020 Quarter 1 file in the section ALL DATA;
  • The file in the section GEO BOUNDARIES.
