Meeting their transport needs in a way that’s as quick, easy, reliable, affordable, inclusive and comfortable as possible is critical to success. Staff across the rail industry also need to feel inspired and supported to deliver the quality of service everyone wants to see. And we need to consider the expectations of communities in and around the rail network, if our investments are to translate into greater prosperity TC Chew and social wellbeing.

Compared with traditional census data, mobile-phone-based travel big data can describe the mobility patterns of a population in a timely, dynamic, complete, and accurate manner. With the travel big dataset supported by Tencent’s location big data, combined with social network analysis (SNA) and a semiparametric geographically weighted regression (SGWR) model, this paper first analyzed the spatiotemporal patterns and characteristics of mobile-data-based population mobility (MBPM), and then revealed the socioeconomic factors related to population mobility during the Spring Festival of 2019, which is the most important festival in China, equivalent to Thanksgiving Day in United States. During this period, the volume of population mobility exceeded 200 million, which became the largest time node of short-term population mobility in the world.
