Our methodology

AirSage collects GPS data from more than 200 million mobile devices that generate more than 100 billion GPS data signals monthly. We obtain these data points with “opt-in” consent, meaning users have consciously selected to share their location data.

Data sourcing

AirSage’s data panel is composed of data generated by hundreds of unique mobile apps. AirSage verifies that no single app contributes to a significant portion of users of the full panel. Moreover, AirSage confirms that no single app category (i.e., News, Travel, Weather, or Gaming) is more dominant than others to avoid skewing the data and ensure representativeness.

Data cleansing

AirSage only leverages GPS sightings that are the most accurate and reliable. AirSage looks for duplicate sightings and collapses them to a single sighting using the sighting with the highest horizontal accuracy value. Sightings that are too far apart spatially in too short of a timeframe (device sightings at 12:00 PM in Louisville, KY and 12:15 PM in Los Angeles, CA) are also cleansed from the dataset.

Data Accuracy and Validation

AirSage’s data is routinely reviewed and analyzed for QA/QC purposes. It also has been reviewed by and substantiated by industry leaders at outside organizations such as University of Maryland and one of the largest global engineering and planning consultancies. The quality and accuracy of AirSage output are considered best-in-class, likely a direct result of AirSage’s rigorous methodologies and processes. AirSage’s output has been compared to output obtained from the United States Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA’s) National Household Travel Survey (NHTS).

Privacy & Security

AirSage has maintained consumer data privacy as a top priority for more than a decade. When it comes to securing and protecting the data we utilize, we adhere to a three-part strategy:
