Abstract Knowing and modeling mobility in smart city spaces is important for both planning and managing city resources. The optimization of public resources and the improvement of their management are some of the main concerns in the development of sustainable urban development policies. This study proposes the application of several artificial intelligence methodologies to support mobility planning based on data provided by public Wi-Fi infrastructures in the city. Considering that Wi-Fi networks provide high-frequency data about the devices under their coverage radius, three classification techniques are proposed: by frequency of occurrence of the devices, by estimation of the mode of transport, and by estimation of the most common travel routes. As a case study, the city of Palma (Mallorca, Spain), an international tourist destination where mobility is of singular importance, is selected. This study shows the results obtained from a Wi-Fi network with wide coverage that is integrated into the urban space. It provides novel and updatable information on the mobility model of the city by taking advantage of public high-frequency monitoring resources. © 2023 by the authors.
