Understanding senior's daily mobility patterns in California using human mobility motifs

Unravelling daily human mobility motifs.

Human mobility is differentiated by time scales. While the mechanism for long time scales has been studied, the underlying mechanism on the daily scale is still unrevealed. Here, we uncover the mechanism responsible for the daily mobility patterns by analysing the temporal and spatial trajectories of thousands of persons as individual networks. Using the concept of motifs from network theory, w...

Daily and weekly patterns in human mobility

Most location-based services provide recommendations based on a user’s current location or a given route or destination. Even though there are indications that human movement is highly predictable, daily and weekly routines of individual users constitute a largely unexplored and unexploited area. In this paper, we show and discuss such patterns, based on a large dataset of GPS trajectories. In ...

Understanding Temporal Human Mobility Patterns in a City by Mobile Cellular Data Mining, Case Study: Tehran City

Recent studies have shown that urban complex behaviors like human mobility should be examined by newer and smarter methods. The ubiquitous use of mobile phones and other smart communication devices helps us use a bigger amount of data that can be browsed by the hours of the day, the days of the week, geographic area, meteorological conditions, and so on. In this article, mobile cellular data mi...

Understanding Human Mobility

Our current digital age is characterized by the shift from traditional industry to an economy based on the information computerization. The sweeping changes brought about by digital computing have provided new data sources for transportation modeling. In this thesis, two mainstream trends in utilizing digital traces in transportation modeling are explored. The first approach is to incorporate m...
