Abstract

This study explores the utility of location data collected from a mobile phone app as a means of modelling spatial behaviour for consumer analysis, focusing on data from a music festival. Our aim was to harvest geo-temporal variables from the app data to model when individuals visit catering services across the site. Using Random Forest and Artificial Neural Networks machine learning algorithms, we presented an efficient means of simulating the popularity of bar areas within the festival site across time. The research demonstrates that with an appropriate methodology, mobile app data can provide useful insight for service provision planning.
