Intra-urban human mobility patterns: An urban morphology perspective

Investigating Public Facility Characteristics from a Spatial Interaction Perspective: A Case Study of Beijing Hospitals Using Taxi Data

“…After that, the patient spatial distribution demonstrates an obvious distance decay trend: the number of patients decreases with distance. The probability distribution fits well with an exponential distance decay function ( = 0.91) and is consistent with existing findings observed from taxi data [24] and mobile phone data [25], and accords with the general law of people's service utilization. Figure 6 depicts the overall distance decay of visits to all hospitals.…”

Data from mobile phone operators: A tool for smarter cities?

“…Studies that investigate the characteristic spatio-temporal pattern of the collective human mobility from a more dynamic perspective, and make a comparison between different urban environments, are very rare. For example, previous work has shown a significant differences between cities (areas) along metrics such as: commute distances (Isaacman et al, 2010(Isaacman et al, , 2011a(Isaacman et al, , 2011bBecker et al, 2013); commuting patterns (Amini et al, 2014) mobility patterns (Liu et al, 2009;Isaacman et al 2011b;Calabrese et al, 2011a;Kang et al, 2012;Tanahashi et al, 2012;Amini et al, 2014); community structures (Eagle et al, 2009b;Amini et al, 2014), hotspots (Louail et al, 2014), and population density (Martino et al, 2010;Becker et al, 2013;Csáji et al, 2012;Isaacman et al, 2012;Sagle et al, 2012;Yuan and Raubal, 2012). The findings of such studies can be helpful for policy makers in understanding the characteristics and dynamic nature of different urban areas, as well as updating environmental and (public) transportation policies.…”

Tourism Geography: Emerging Trends and Initiatives to Support Tourism in Morocco

“…Since 2006, a number of mobile-phone data case studies have been initiated to analyse human mobility patterns (Eagle and Pentland, 2006;Mateos, 2006;Shoval, 2007;González et al, 2008;Liu et al, 2009;Song, et al, 2010aSong, et al, , 2010bHuang et al, 2010;Isaacman et al 2011bIsaacman et al , 2012Calabrese et al, 2011;Kang et al, 2012;Tanashia et al, 2012;Amini et al, 2014). Huang et al (2010) stated that these places and the routes between them are of significant value to effective network management, public transportation planning and city management.…”
