Mobile Network Data
Innovative data is helping us make better decisions for passengers and freight customers.
We have commissioned BT to provide a system that uses Mobile Network Data to give us data insights on travel patterns.
It’s an innovative solution that allows us to make network-wide decisions to achieve the best possible services for our passengers and freight customers. The data is based on estimates of the number of people travelling using their raw mobile network data events or “pings”. All data is anonymised and aggregated and scaled up to UK population. Data is compliant with GDPR and any results lower than 10 are redacted.
We have bought the rights to sub-licence this data to named beneficiary operators and industry partners.
Beneficiaries that are named as part of the Network Rail/BT contract can request access to the data.
Beneficiaries interested in getting access should first have a conversation with the Network Rail Mobile Network Data project manager.
