Urban segregation research has long relied on residential patterns, yet growing evidence suggests that racial/ethnic segregation also manifests systematically in mobility behaviors. Leveraging anonymized mobile device data from New York…
The study of human mobility is crucial due to its impact on several aspects of our society, such as disease spreading, urban planning, well-being, pollution, and more. The proliferation of digital mobility data, such as phone records, GPS…
Mobility analysis, or understanding and modeling of people's mobility patterns in terms of when, where, and how people move from one place to another, is fundamentally important as such information is the basis for large-scale investment…
This paper has the goal of evaluating how changes in mobility has affected the infection spread of Covid-19 throughout the 2020-2021 years. However, identifying a "clean" causal relation is not an easy task due to a high number of…
The availability of large-scale datasets collected via mobile phones has opened up opportunities to study human mobility at an individual level. The granular nature of these datasets calls for the design of summary statistics that can be…
Classical compartmental models in epidemiology often assume a homogeneous population for simplicity, which neglects the inherent heterogeneity among individuals. This assumption frequently leads to inaccurate predictions when applied to…
Understanding the spatial dynamics of cars within urban systems is essential for optimizing infrastructure management and resource allocation. Recent empirical approaches for analyzing traffic patterns have gained traction due to their…
Large urban special events significantly contribute to a city's vibrancy and economic growth but concurrently impose challenges on transportation systems due to alterations in mobility patterns. This study aims to shed light on mobility…
The amount of data that is being gathered about cities is increasing in size and specificity. However, despite this wealth of information, we still have little understanding of what really drives the processes behind urbanisation. In this…
The identification of urban mobility patterns is very important for predicting and controlling spatial events. In this study, we analyzed millions of geographical check-ins crawled from a leading Chinese location-based social networking…
In our project we have designed an Android application to obtain mobility data of the citizens in the metropolitan area of Barcelona. Our implementation synchronously obtains in background on the one hand, periodic location updates and, on…
In transport modeling and prediction, trip purposes play an important role since mobility choices (e.g. modes, routes, departure times) are made in order to carry out specific activities. Activity based models, which have been gaining…
Predicting human mobility patterns has many practical applications in urban planning, traffic engineering, infectious disease epidemiology, emergency management and location-based services. Developing a universal model capable of accurately…
Capturing human mobility is essential for modeling how people interact with and move through physical spaces, reflecting social behavior, access to resources, and dynamic spatial patterns. To support scalable and transferable analysis…
Analyzing the geographic movement of humans, animals, and other phenomena is a growing field of research. This research has benefited urban planning, logistics, animal migration understanding, and much more. Typically, the movement is…
The aim of this paper is to solve an inverse problem which regards a mass moving in a bounded domain. We assume that the mass moves following an unknown velocity field and that the evolution of the mass density can be described by partial…
Many cities promote walkability through concepts such as the compact city and 15-minute city to enhance urban livability, yet few methods link spatial walkability features to empirically measured livability and account for temporal…
The theme of human mobility is transversal to multiple fields of study and applications, from ad-hoc networks to smart cities, from transportation planning to recommendation systems on social networks. Despite the considerable efforts made…
Human mobility analysis is an important issue in social sciences, and mobility data are among the most sought-after sources of information in ur- Data ban studies, geography, transportation and territory management. In network sciences…
The spatial heterogeneity of cities -- the uneven distribution of population and activities -- is fundamental to urban dynamics and related to critical issues such as infrastructure overload, housing affordability, and social inequality.…
