Flocktracker
Flocktracker reimagines data collection, enabling the creation of robust datasets and iterative geospatial analyses by nontechnical users enabling the easy creation and deployment surveys and route tracing. The tool can be easily adapted to a variety of projects and needs, and is highly scalable in the number of active users it can handle. While current use cases have centered around governments and more established urban research initiatives, Flocktracker’s functionality is just as transferable to smaller, more grassroots initiatives, as well as more commercial use cases.
FMS (Future Mobility Sensing)
Future Mobility Sensing (FMS) is a smartphone and prompted-recall-based integrated activity-travel survey. It uses a combination of a smartphone app, available for Android and iOS, and an online prompted recall survey to collect both demographic and travel data from participants. Data collected from the smartphone app are uploaded to a central server, mapped, analyzed, and made accessible to the participant from the project website, where he or she is asked to provide detailed travel information via a prompted-recall survey. The detailed, accurate data collected by FMS can be used for transportation modeling and urban planning.
Simmobility
SimMoblity is the simulation platform of the Future Urban Mobility Research Group at the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) that aims to serve as the nexus of Future Mobility research evaluations. It integrates various mobility-sensitive behavioral models with state-of-the-art scalable simulators to predict the impact of mobility demands on transportation networks, intelligent transportation services and vehicular emissions. The platform enables us to simulate the effects of a portfolio of technology, policy and investment options under alternative future scenarios. SimMobility encompasses the modeling of millions of agents, from pedestrians to drivers, from phones and traffic lights to GPS, from cars to buses and trains, from second-by-second to year-by-year simulations, across entire countries.
