The UnCrowdTPG development team

The UnCrowdTPG application is developed and provided by the “Quality of Life technologies” (QoL) group at the University of Geneva, Institute of Services Science, being passionate about how technology can improve the quality of life of persons like you. Along with your application usage, we collect information that enables us to improve your experience: we make the application fast, accurate and secure.

Additionally, along with our research, we are interested in answering the questions related to, for example, human mobility and commuting patterns as well as how well individuals are connected to a mobile network when traveling in a tram or bus. We may leverage the application usage information in an aggregated, collective way for answering these research questions. We do not collect any identifiable information from you!
