Human mobility is influenced by environmental change and natural disasters. Researchers have used trip distance distribution, radius of gyration of movements, and individuals' visited locations to understand and capture human mobility patterns and trajectories. However, our knowledge of human movements during natural disasters is limited owing to both a lack of empirical data and the low precis...

As a significant factor in urban planning, traffic forecasting and prediction of epidemics, modeling patterns of human mobility draws intensive attention from researchers for decades. Power-law distribution and its variations are observed from quite a few real-world human mobility datasets such as the movements of banking notes, trackings of cell phone users’ locations and trajectories of vehic...

Pervasive presence of location-sharing services made it possible for researchers to gain an unprecedented access to the direct records of human activity in space and time. This article analyses geo-located Twitter messages in order to uncover global patterns of human mobility. Based on a dataset of almost a billion tweets recorded in 2012, we estimate the volume of international travelers by co...

The research objectives are exploring characteristics of human mobility patterns, subsequently modelling them mathematically depending on inter-event time ∆t and traveled distances ∆rparameters using CDRs (Call Detailed Records). The observations are obtained from Armada festival in France. Understanding, modelling and simulating human mobility among urban regions is excitement approach, due to...

The emergence and convergence of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are transforming fundamental issues of mobility. However, current debates on mobility almost exclusively focus on how ICTs can alleviate geographical barriers for human activities. This paper reconsiders, from a theoretical perspective, the concept of mobility. We argue that mobility should not exclusively be lin...

In Pocket Switched Networks (PSN), the similarity of mobility patterns of different human beings can be exploited to design routing protocols that have better packet delivery ratio and shorter end-to-end delay. However, current research lacks techniques to effectively quantify the similarity of human beings’ mobility behaviors as they exhibit diversities in both the time and spatial domains. In...
