Abstract
With an eye towards lowering costs, saving time, and arriving at a more defensible injury amount, we implement the use of highly advanced mobility data as the sub-stitute for the old method of examining changes to human recreation in the wake of an oil spill. We are able to analyze thousands of square miles of data in a matter of days, not months or years, allowing more coverage to better understand the reach of the oil spill impacts. Attempting to do the same with surveying is costly and time consuming. Though highly complex, our team of analysts are able to condense the billions of rows of mobile device information for a given area and time into much more understandable and easily digestible recreation numbers. We find that the ability to effectively use mobility data can save companies nearly 85% in cost and over 12 months of time relative to previous surveying methods. We contend mobility data will be the preferred method to analyze human recreation injuries in the future.
