Abstract

In this study, we have analyzed the access status and the data usage trend of the public Wi-Fi on the bus, which has not been carried out in the previous studies. The analysis period of this study is 5 months from Nov. 2020 to Mar. 2021. When we compared the access status of Seoul metropolitan and the non-metropolitan region against each region's deployment status ratio, the access ratio of the metropolitan region was higher than the non-metropolitan region, of which the gap was 4.53%. The access for each region showed the growing trend, which was 43.5% on average. The data usage also showed the growing trend, 2.7% on average. Weekly data usage showed the growing trend irrespective of weekdays or weekends. The data usage of the weekdays was 695GB higher than weekends. The data usage during commuting hours including school (7:00~9:00 a.m. and 4:00~6:00 p.m.) was higher than 3,000GB. We can conclude that bus public Wi-Fi was used more actively in non-metropolitan region than Seoul metropolitan region by the office workers and students. The secure access also showed the growing trend. And the secure data usage also showed the growing trend.
