Tourists tend to visit multiple destinations out of their variety-seeking motivations in their trips. Thus, it is critical to discover travel patterns involving multi-destinations in tourism research. Existing relevant research most relied…
In this paper we consider a set of travelers, starting from likely different locations towards a common destination within a road network, and propose solutions to find the optimal connecting points for them. A connecting point is a vertex…
A better understanding of the behavior of tourists is strategic for improving services in the competitive and important economic segment of global tourism. Critical studies in the literature often explore the issue using traditional data,…
The website network of a tourism destination is examined. Network theoretic metrics are used to gauge the static and dynamic characteristics of the webspace. The topology of the network is found partly similar to the one exhibited by…
The structure of complex networks can be characterized by counting and analyzing network motifs. Motifs are small subgraphs that occur repeatedly in a network, such as triangles or chains. Recent work has generalized motifs to temporal and…
This paper presents a modeling approach to infer scheduling and routing patterns from digital freight transport activity data for different freight markets. We provide a complete modeling framework including a new discrete-continuous…
In this paper, a comparative study was conducted between complex networks representing origin and destination survey data. Similarities were found between the characteristics of the networks of Brazilian cities with networks of foreign…
This paper presents a review of the methods of the science of networks with an application to the field of tourism studies. The basic definitions and computational techniques are described and a case study (Elba, Italy) used to illustrate…
We present here a general framework and a specific algorithm for predicting the destination, route, or more generally a pattern, of an ongoing journey, building on the recent work of [Y. Lassoued, J. Monteil, Y. Gu, G. Russo, R. Shorten,…
Traffic congestion at urban-scale levels occurs when road network supply is insufficient compared with demand. Therefore, the relationship between supply and demand has been extensively investigated in the literature. Especially the impact…
Uncovering higher-order spatiotemporal dependencies within human mobility networks offers valuable insights into the analysis of urban structures. In most existing studies, human mobility networks are typically constructed by aggregating…
Human mobility is increasing in its volume, speed and reach, leading to the movement and introduction of pathogens through infected travelers. An understanding of how areas are connected, the strength of these connections and how this…
This research introduces a mathematical framework to comprehending human mobility patterns, integrating mathematical modeling and economic analysis. The study focuses on latent-variable networks, investigating the dynamics of human mobility…
The recent proliferation of real-world human mobility datasets has catalyzed geospatial and transportation research in trajectory prediction, demand forecasting, travel time estimation, and anomaly detection. However, these datasets also…
Complex networks refer to large-scale graphs with nontrivial connection patterns. The salient and interesting features that the complex network study offer in comparison to graph theory are the emphasis on the dynamical properties of the…
Social networks provide a new perspective for enterprises to better understand their customers and have attracted substantial attention in industry. However, inferring high quality customer social networks is a great challenge while there…
The problem of recommending tours to travellers is an important and broadly studied area. Suggested solutions include various approaches of points-of-interest (POI) recommendation and route planning. We consider the task of recommending a…
Human mobility patterns are complex and distinct from one person to another. Nevertheless, motivated by tremendous potential benefits of modeling such patterns in enabling new mobile services and technologies, researchers have attempted to…
Route diversity in networks is elemental for establishing reliable, high-capacity connections with appropriate security between endpoints. As for the Internet, route diversity has already been studied at both Autonomous System- and…
Tourists often go to multiple tourism destinations in one trip. The volume of tourism flow between tourism destinations, also referred to as ITF (Inter-Destination Tourism Flow) in this paper, is commonly used for tourism management on…
