Small description of the different files:

Car_trips.csv: List of trips from different cars in Switzerland.
Data provided by Giacomo Pareschi and based on the result of the 2015 edition of MZMV (Bundesamt für Statistik / Bundesamt für Raumentwicklung, Verkehrsverhalten der Bevölkerung, Ergebnisse des Mikrozensus Mobilität und Verkehr 2015, Neuchâtel und Bern (2017), https://www.are.admin.ch/are/de/home/mobilitaet/grundlagen-und-daten/mzmv.html ). Each weekly profile is not representative and any result obtained with less than 50 profiles should be interpreted with extreme caution.
