Start capturing granular mobility data instantly

Deploy your project on our proven app, generating valuable intermodal data

Used by the world's leading companies

Your mobility logbook

Understand how, when, where and why people move from A to B.
The motiontag project app allows commuters to automatically capture their mobility patterns and behaviour, without additional actions required.

Seamless setup & full control

Launching your project is as easy as installing an app. You stay in charge with invite-based access and gain a clear overview through our web-based dashboard—designed to support your team every step of the way.

Understand when, where, how and why people travel

Gain a 360° view of mobility behaviour: how users travel, which modes they use, where they stop and what motivates their movement.

 

Mode detection

Identify how people travel: which transport modes they use, which public lines they take—and how they switch between them.

Learn more

Stop & purpose detection

Detect meaningful stops and understand the reason behind them—be it work, shopping or leisure.

Learn more

Trip & destination analysis

Uncover where users go and why—from home to school to points of interest

Customize your data. Engage your users.

Enhance the depth and quality of your mobility data by engaging users directly in the app—through targeted questionnaires and user-powered input. Get a fuller picture of their travel behaviour and motivations.

 

In-app questionnaires

Add project-specific surveys directly into the app to gather context, preferences or sociodemographic data from participants.

User-driven enrichment

Let users review and complete their data—adding missing trips, adjusting details or confirming detected modes in the app.

motiontag's technology is a strong foundation for long-term market research

For several years, motiontag has been a reliable technology partner for infas across multiple large-scale projects, including national transportation surveys such as the Austrian National Mobility Study and fare allocation, e.g., KlimaTicket. The technology is exceptionally reliable at scale and has proven to be a strong foundation for long-term market research.

Robert Follmer
Head of Mobility and Regional Research

High-quality measurement of real-world behavior is fundamental for credible research.

Using MotionTag has been critical for accurately and granularly registering travel behavior across transport modes. This approach substantially reduces error and bias compared to self-reported measures, enabling us to observe actual behavioral change rather than stated intentions. Combined with a randomized controlled framework, this strategy has allowed us to estimate the causal effects of several transport policies (such as road pricing and subsidies) and to identify how individuals adjust mobility decisions across all transport modes in response to economic incentives.

motiontag's tech allows us to focus on the new survey elements: time use and expenditures.

Over the years, the traditional way of collecting data through paper-and-pencil surveys has become less productive in terms of data quality and response rates. It is difficult to choose between the two main passive alternatives, GSM and GPS data, because access, costs, and data volumes vary widely. Here, the abilities and quality of motiontag’s proven technology make the choice often easy.

motiontag's data forms the basis for the allocation of Klima-Talers

By integrating MotionTag's mobility detection into the Klima-Taler.com platform, climate-friendly journeys can be automatically measured and evaluated. More than 50 participating municipalities receive reliable data on CO₂ savings and the use of sustainable forms of mobility.  The data shows how mobility behavior is changing for the better in everyday life.

motiontag's tech allowed us to capture individual mobility trajectories linked to key characteristics

In our research on gender mobility in Curitiba’s favelas, motiontag’s smartphone-based tracking enabled us to collect detailed route, modal choice, and travel time data directly within these communities. Unlike traditional Origin–Destination surveys - often aggregated into large spatial zones - or large-scale mobile phone big data, which typically lack socio-demographic detail, this approach allowed us to capture individual mobility trajectories linked to key characteristics such as household composition, gender, income, and race. This combination provided unprecedented insight into gender-based mobility inequalities and supports the development of more inclusive urban mobility policies.
