Abstract
Transport models are a key to understanding the mobility inside cities. Despite the fact that activity-based transport models offer better level of detail and finer interactions compared to four-step models, they lack a suitable methodology for creating a meaningful population out of open data without the burden of privacy sensitivity. This paper is trying to bridge this gap by introducing a new methodology and its implementation for the Capital Region of Helsinki, Finland. The generated population is finally tested as a part of activity-based transport model for the same area. Results show that generating the population solely from open aggregated data is possible and shows good correlation with the observed data.
