Abstract

This study aimed to identify the current approaches to determine mobility patterns using smart cities’ infrastructures, which might be useful to disseminate good practices. Therefore, a systematic review was performed based on a search of the literature. From an initial search of 8207 articles, 25 articles were retrieved for the systematic review. These articles reported different approaches to predict mobility patterns using smart city data sources, namely data from mobile carrier networks, from social networks or from transit agencies’ smart cards.
