Travel Mode- and Purpose-Specific Origin-Destination Matrices for England and Wales from Fused Travel Survey and Mobile Network Data

Recent research has produced comprehensive origin-destination (OD) matrices for England and Wales, disaggregated by travel mode and purpose, and segmented for specific time periods. These matrices, generated by fusing travel survey and mobile network data, address a critical gap in available mobility data, particularly for detailed spatial planning.

The availability of detailed, disaggregated origin-destination matrices is crucial for robust transport planning and infrastructure development. This data enables more precise modeling, better resource allocation, and informed decision-making for place-based solutions, enhancing overall societal mobility and economic efficiency.

Origin-destination (OD) matrices are fundamental to quantitative transport planning, including model calibration, accessibility analysis, and service appraisal.
