Accurate utility demand forecasting with use of smartphone location data

18-03-2020

Location data harvested from a mobile phone are a valuable source of information with many potential applications related to planning and management. Such application - a water demand prediction model - has been presented by a group of scientists from Institute of Geodesy and Geoinformatics and Institute of Environmental Engineering from Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences and University of Auckland, New Zealand. The study applied over seven millions of smartphone location data combined with historical water usage data. Datasets were integrated into the machine learning model, creating an accurate water demand forecasting model.
