Abstract

The explosive growth of New and Emerging Data Forms (NEDF) has enabled profound new insights into human behavior, especially related to mobility. NEDF are facilitated by technologies such as smartphones, sensor networks and distributed computing architectures, which are all becoming increasingly advanced and widespread. NEDF, which may offer large sample sizes of high resolution data, offer great potential for informing sustainable transport policy, as well as the development of crosssectoral policies, covering public-health, environment, land-use, and social equity. However, many challenges in exploiting NEDF exist including accessing data in public/private ownership; understanding the representativeness, measuring/accommodating biases/missing data; and the integration of traditional data with new forms to maximize overall utility. Questions remain on whether NEDF can be used to actively influence travel choice/behavior, the new skills and additional resources needed by stakeholders to realize data potential and the ethical challenges for all engaging with the data.
