Description | Huq is a mobile phone app dataset. The app collects real-time, anonymized location data from users' smartphones, based on the use of a range of smart phone applications. This dataset offers researchers insights into human mobility patterns and behaviour. Researchers can leverage this data to study consumer trends, urban planning, and the impact of events on people's movements, amongst other applications. With a coverage of around 0.7% of the population and granular location information, Huq data offers the potential to understand changing societal dynamics and make data-driven decisions across various fields, from retail and transportation to public health and urban development. The data has a geographic coverage across Glasgow City Region. It has a time coverage of 5 years (2019-2023), including 4 years of historical data from 2019-2022 plus one year of current data for 2023. UBDC researchers also created a derived dataset, based on Huq data, Glasgow Origin-Destination (OD) Matrices Access and RestrictionsHuq data is currently available internally for Urban Big Data Centre Staff. Derived Datasets based on Huq data, such as Mobility Metrics for Glasgow City Region, are available to request as Safeguarded data under an End User Licence. |
