description A low-cost, timely, and durable long-term approach to resident travel surveys is crucial for authorities to understand the city’s transportation systems and formulate transportation planning and management policies. This paper summarizes commonly used wireless positioning technologies and uses the STDBSCAN method to identify travel endpoints based on the characteristics of trajectory location information. It uses Shenzhen cellular signaling data to visually analyze the spatial and temporal distribution of urban traffic demand, traffic correlation, and asymmetry of traffic flow between different traffic zones. The results confirm that mobile internet information represented by cellular signaling information can effectively reflect the traffic status of urban areas, which, compared to traditional travel survey methods, has the advantages of lower cost, more timely feedback, and can be durably carried out in the long term.
