Understanding Human Mobility Patterns in a Developing Country Using Mobile Phone Data

Abstract: This study demonstrates the use of mobile phone data to derive country-wide mobility patterns. We identified significant locations of users such as home, work, and other based on a combined measure of frequency, duration, time, and day of mobile phone interactions. Consecutive mobile phone records of users are used to identify stay and pass-by locations. A stay location is where users spend a significant amount of their time measured through their mobile phone usage. Trips are constructed for each user between… Show more

“…People mobility analysis is usually related to urban planning programs, such as the development of green areas to improve wellbeing (Ferrara et al 2018) and studies of travel demand to provide a better transportation system (Demissie et al 2019). Human mobility also contributes to disease transmission, as mentioned by Findlater & Bogoch (2018) that greater human mobility will lead to the increase in the frequency of infection as well as the range of spread.…”
