dc.descriptionUnderstanding human mobility is essential in many fields including transportation planning. Currently, manually carried out surveys are the primary source for such data and analysis. Such data collection, while being expensive, takes time and is often outdated by the time it is available for analysis. Mobile Network Big Data (MNBD) has the possibility of supplementing traditional data sampling programs, resulting not only in cost and time savings, but with a striking growth in the amount of information available for analysis. Mobile Network Big Data (MNBD) concerns large-volume, complex, growing data sets derived from the way people use communication devices. Compared to other network-related data like GPS, Call Detail Records (CDRs) are the largest subset of MNBD and are easily available since most telecommunication service providers maintain such data for billing purposes (Manoranjan Dash, 2015). Whenever a cellular transaction is made, a CDR which consists of time-stamped tower locations with caller IDs are generated (Md.Shahadat Iqbal, 2014). CDR describes the mobile usage pattern of a particular user of which the present focus is to extract information on the mobility of the user. Thus, analysing CDR will lead to understanding human mobility. Moreover, CDRs have been used in various analyses which address different transport concepts. These include O-D trip estimation with different techniques (M. K. D. T. Maldeniya, 2016), identifying significant locations visited by users, and deriving home and work points through more advanced models developed for the purpose. However, in Sri Lanka there is less research on understanding travel behaviour. A firm theoretical account will enable the effective use of MNBD for transport demand forecasting.en_US
