The Uber app generates a wealth of very useful data that the car sharing company is now making available to city planners, and in the next few months to the public as well. Uber data provide detailed information about travel times at various hours of the day. The new tool is called Movement and it collects information from Uber’s GPS check-in function, which occurs in the background during the millions of Uber trips taken every day around the world. Each one of those trips gives valuable traffic data, showing travel times not just for the entire ride, but for smaller segments within the total trip.
