Inferring Asymmetry of Inhabitant Flow using Call Detail Records
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this research, we carry out a study of the inhabitant flow using a large mobile phone data with location estimates from subscribers in Suffolk county, Massachusetts, USA that reveals the asymmetry in the flows, which reflects the way that people travel daily. People occasionally travel in a non-symmetrical way. For instance, they would take one route traveling from home to a destination and a different route while returning home. By analyzing the flow over the space, the results show that there exists asymmetrical flows, which account for 33% of all inhabitant flows. In addition, high asymmetrical flows are observed in trips between low and high congested areas e.g. urban and suburban areas, as well as trips made to and from low populated areas e.g. commercial areas.

Experimental Investigation of Asymmetry of Vortex Flow Over Single Delta Wings
It is generally believed that, on slender delta wings, there is a critical state at which strong asymmetric vortices are found along the leading edge on the lee-side of the delta wing. These asymmetric vortices can lead to high lateral forces even when slender delta wing is at the zero angle of yaw. Some experimental studies reported recently, cast considerable doubt as to the validity of the a...
متن کاملMobile Phones in a Traffic Flow: A Geographical Perspective to Evening Rush Hour Traffic Analysis Using Call Detail Records
Excessive land use and suburbanisation around densely populated urban areas has gone hand in hand with a growth in overall transportation and discussions about causality of traffic congestions. The objective of this paper is to gain new insight regarding the composition of traffic flows, and to reveal how and to what extent suburbanites' travelling affects rush hour traffic. We put forward an a...
متن کاملCDRoute: A Randomized Algorithm to Estimate Street-Level Commuting Routes Using Call Detail Records
In this work we propose a randomized algorithm to estimate the street-level commuting route using call detail records (CDRs). Our algorithm works in three steps. First, for each individual, we create perturbations of estimated home and work locations within the cell tower coverage. Second, we identify a route between each pair of both locations through a web mapping service. Finally, we choose ...
متن کاملDiscovery of Social Groups Using Call Detail Records
In this paper we propose the affinity model for classifying social groups based on mobile phone call detail records. We use affinity to measure the similarity between probability distributions. Since phone calls are stochastic process, it makes more sense to use probability affinity to classify the social groups. This work is useful for enhancing homeland security, detecting unwanted calls (e.g...
متن کاملForecasting Influenza in Senegal with Call Detail Records
As part of the D4D Senegal Challenge we describe the use of call detail records (CDRs) in seeding parameters for an epidemiological model around metapopulations. We apply this model to the study of influenza-like illnesses and validate model results against epidemiological surveillance data.
