The ODM (Origin-Destination Matrix) product is utilized for analyzing and visually representing the movement and flow of individuals between various origins and destinations. It offers a comprehensive understanding of travel patterns and the interactions occurring within specific locations.
- By utilizing the location information available in the mobile signaling data, the ODM product determines the position of participants. The timing of their movements and pauses (activities) plays a crucial role in this process.
- The identification of movements (trips) relies on the duration of pauses between two consecutive movements, requiring a minimum stay of 10 minutes.
- Trips are defined by their start point (origin) and endpoint (destination), allowing for a clear delineation of travel paths.
Near-real-time Point of Interest (POI) analytics deliver detailed insights on various locations across Germany with minimal delay. Businesses can leverage such analytics to observe immediate visitation behaviors. These kind of datasets can be used for DOOH (Digital-Out-Of-Home), traffic- and visitor analytics.
