Key benefits
25m users
There are over 25 million O2 UK customers – more than a third of the adult population. So O2 Motion has a huge data set to work from, which can help predict behaviours and trends across the entire population.
Fast, accurate reporting
O2 delivered daily, close to real-time reports to DfT. The key insights were added into briefing packs for ministers on the same day.
Travel demographics
O2 Motion’s data contains a broad range of insights into the travel of different demographics (old, young, male, female etc) as well as income groups, length of journey, dwell time and much more.
Deep insight
O2 Motion’s expansive data sets can be used to identify and confirm a wide variety of trends, both local and national. These can then be used in modelling responses.
Anonymised and aggregated data
None of the data accumulated by O2 Motion can be used to identify individuals. It’s all anonymised and aggregated to identify trends, not people.
