Ghent Mobility and Traffic Data with Statistical Outputs and MATSim Models, 2018-2021

16.6 MB of raw mobility and traffic data from the city of Ghent for the reference years 2018 and 2021, provided by author remi demeulemeester. The collection includes statistical outputs for factor and cluster analysis, as well as configuration files for the MATSim agent-based transport simulation model. The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-23 and is licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Use Cases

• Calibrating agent-based transport simulation models based on the provided MATSim configuration files.
• Segmenting urban populations into attitudinal groups based on the cluster analysis outputs.
• Identifying underlying attitudinal components in mobility data based on the factor analysis results.
• Analyzing raw urban mobility and traffic patterns for the city of Ghent.

Strengths

• Includes raw mobility data for two distinct reference years (2018 and 2021).
• Provides complete statistical outputs for factor and cluster analyses, including scree plots and dendrograms.
• Contains ready-to-use configuration files for the MATSim simulation framework.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• Data is specific to the city of Ghent, which may limit generalizability to other urban contexts.
