Studies from the Eindhoven University of Technology and the VerDuS research program looked at the significance of mobility data

"You asked about how we count, but I think what I’ll start with, though, is . . . who we don’t count. Quite often the answer to that is pedestrians [. . .] When you start to count pedestrians, as well as people on bikes it changes the way that you design your junctions or your intersections. If you don’t count them, it’s not surprising you design them essentially for the car. (Cycling activist, Manchester)
