Abstract: Method and system of detecting traffic in a transport network comprising obtaining network usage records from a mobile network. Extracting cell information from the network usage records. Identifying the network usage records originating from moving handsets from the extracted cell information. Matching the identified network usage records with one or more transport routes. Matching each of the one or more transport routes with a transport mode using transport mode map data.

Abstract: A method of managing a load within a cellular network. The method includes obtaining network usage records from the cellular network; extracting cell information from the network usage records; establishing terminal carrier routes for cellular terminals that have changed location as determined from the extracted cell information; deriving terminal carrier profile attributes for the cellular terminals that have changed location, based on the established terminal carrier routes; determining a load on a resource of the cellular network, based on the established terminal carrier routes and the derived terminal carrier profile attributes; and controlling resources of the cellular network in response to the determined load, so as to manage the load within the cellular network.

Abstract: Methods of predicting a change of users of a network enabled device and a network and network device configured to perform the methods. A present device category and a present device demographic profile are associated with the network enabled device. The present device category is one of a plurality of predefined categories each having a demographic profile associated therewith. The method includes: detecting a network event corresponding to the network enabled device; determining an event category corresponding to the detected network event, the event category being one of the plurality of predefined categories; and comparing the event category with the present device category. When the event category differs from the present device category, determining a new demographic profile based on the present device demographic profile and the demographic profile associated with the event category; and comparing the new demographic profile with the present device demographic profile.
