A Review of Urban Studies Based on Transit Smart Card Data
The wide application of smart card for automated fare collection in public transit systems has produced large quantities of spatial-temporal data at an individual level.Such data not only records mobility behavior of cardholders,but also reveals the spatial functions of cities.Owing to its high spatial-temporal resolution,low cost and large quantity,transit smart card data attract a lot of attention from urban/transport planners and urban researchers.This article presents a comprehensive review of the latest quantitative urban studies enabled by smart card data from both China and overseas.The review covers the following four aspects:(1) data processing and origin-destination inference,(2) transit operation and management,(3) spatial structure of cities,and (4) mobility behavior and social networks.Finally,the review summarizes existing studies and gives a brief introduction to issues of privacy protection and information extraction.Areas of future research are also pointed out.
