Understanding human mobility patterns—how people move in their everyday lives—is an interdisciplinary research field. It is a question with roots back to the 19th century that has been dramatically revitalized with the recent increase in data availability. Models of human mobility often take the population distribution as a starting point. Another, sometimes more accurate, data source is land-use maps. In this paper, we discuss how the intra-city movement patterns, and consequently population…

Revealing the relationship of human convergence–divergence patterns and land use: A case study on Shenzhen City, China
Human mobility in bike-sharing systems: Structure of local and non-local dynamics
TLDR
A mobility model for the global activity of users in bike-sharing systems operating in the cities of Chicago and New York is applied and it is revealed that the model implemented captures important characteristics of the global spatial dynamics in the systems analyzed.
Incorporation of intra-city human mobility into urban growth simulation: A case study in Beijing
The effective modeling of urban growth is crucial for urban planning and analyzing the causes of land-use dynamics. As urbanization has slowed down in most megacities, improved urban growth modeling…
Understanding and modeling human movement in cities using phone data
TLDR
The approach takes advantage of the existing built infrastructures to sense the mobility of people eliminating the financial and temporal burdens of traditional methods.
Universal scaling of the distribution of land in urban areas.
TLDR
Information is introduced about spatial patterns that emerge in the structure of urban settlements that are useful for the understanding of urban growth, to improve existing models of cities, in the context of sustainability, in studies about human mobility in urban areas, among other applications.
Spotting Trip Purposes from Taxi Trajectories
TLDR
This article develops a general probabilistic framework for spotting trip purposes from massive taxi GPS trajectories and introduces a latent factor, POI Topic, to represent the mixed functionality of the regions, such that each origin or destination point in the city can be modeled as a mixture over POI Topics.
A Tale of Ten Cities: Characterizing Signatures of Mobile Traffic in Urban Areas
TLDR
An original technique to identify classes of mobile traffic signatures that are distinctive of different urban fabrics is introduced, which outperforms previous approaches when confronted to ground-truth information, and allows characterizing the mobile demand in greater detail than that attained in the literature to date.
Networks and long-range mobility in cities: A study of more than one billion taxi trips in New York City
TLDR
Considering the taxi trips as a proxy of human mobility in cities, it might be possible that the long-range mobility found for New York City would be a general feature in other large cities around the world.
Detecting interpersonal relationships in large-scale railway trip data
With increases in the amount of human trajectory data, interest in explaining or predicting human mobility is growing. Owing to the difficulty of associating mobility data with interpersonal…

A Tale of Many Cities: Universal Patterns in Human Urban Mobility
TLDR
Surprisingly, while there are variations in human movement in different cities, this analysis shows that those are predominantly due to different distributions of places across different urban environments.
Comparing and modelling land use organization in cities
TLDR
A functional network approach is applied to determine land use patterns from mobile phone records and a model inspired by Schelling's segregation is introduced, able to explain and reproduce these results with simple interaction rules between different land uses.
Intra-Urban Human Mobility and Activity Transition: Evidence from Social Media Check-In Data
TLDR
This research combines activity-based analysis with a movement-based approach to model the intra-urban human mobility observed from about 15 million check-in records during a yearlong period in Shanghai, China, and shows that the simulated patterns fit the observed data well.
Unraveling the origin of exponential law in intra-urban human mobility
TLDR
A new model is proposed which explains the exponential law of intra-urban mobility as a result of the exponential decrease in average population density in urban areas and indicates that the trip length and the population density share the same exponential decaying rate.
Understanding urban human activity and mobility patterns using large-scale location-based data from online social media
TLDR
Urban human mobility and activity patterns are analyzed using location-based data collected from social media applications (e.g. Foursquare and Twitter) to characterize aggregate activity patterns and characterize individual activity patterns.
A universal model for mobility and migration patterns
TLDR
A stochastic process capturing local mobility decisions that helps to derive commuting and mobility fluxes that require as input only information on the population distribution is introduced, significantly improving the predictive accuracy of most of the phenomena affected by mobility and transport processes.
Predicting commuter flows in spatial networks using a radiation model based on temporal ranges
TLDR
This work shows that traffic can efficiently and accurately be computed from a range-limited, network betweenness type calculation and captures the log-normal distribution of the traffic and attains a high Pearson correlation coefficient when compared with real traffic.
Zooming into individuals to understand the collective: A review of trajectory-based travel behaviour studies
Inferring human mobility using communication patterns
TLDR
It is shown that human mobility is well predicted by a simple model based on the frequency of mobile phone calls between two locations and their geographical distance, and it is argued that the strength of the model comes from directly incorporating the social dimension of mobility.
Understanding individual human mobility patterns.
TLDR
The trajectory of 100,000 anonymized mobile phone users whose position is tracked for a six-month period is studied, finding that, in contrast with the random trajectories predicted by the prevailing Lévy flight and random walk models, human trajectories show a high degree of temporal and spatial regularity.
