An analytical and experimental study of the energy transition discourse on YouTube
Aleix Bassolas, Piero Birello, Julian Vicens
Energy production and management face significant political, economic, and environmental challenges, yet the rise in information consumption through social media undermines the ava…
Multifaceted polarisation and information reliability in climate change discussions on social media platforms
Aleix Bassolas, Joan Massachs, Emanuele Cozzo +1
Social media platforms like YouTube and Twitter play a key role in disseminating both reliable and unreliable information about climate change. This study analyses the topology of…
Spatiotemporal variability and prediction of e-bike battery levels in bike-sharing systems
Aleix Bassolas, Jordi Grau-Escolano, Julian Vicens
Bike Sharing Systems (BSSs) play a crucial role in promoting sustainable urban mobility by facilitating short-range trips and connecting with other transport modes. Traditionally,…
Cycling into the workshop: predictive maintenance for Barcelona's bike-sharing system
Jordi Grau-Escolano, Aleix Bassolas, Julian Vicens
Bike-sharing systems have emerged as a significant element of urban mobility, providing an environmentally friendly transportation alternative. With the increasing integration of e…
Diffusion and synchronization dynamics reveal the multi-scale patterns of spatial segregation
Aleix Bassolas, Sergio Gómez, Alex Arenas
Urban systems are characterized by populations with heterogeneous characteristics, and whose spatial distribution is crucial to understand inequalities in life expectancy or educat…
A link model approach to identify congestion hotspots
Aleix Bassolas, Sergio Gómez, Alex Arenas
Congestion emerges when high demand peaks put transportation systems under stress. Understanding the interplay between the spatial organization of demand, the route choices of citi…
Metadata-informed community detection with lazy encoding using absorbing random walks
Aleix Bassolas, Anton Eriksson, Antoine Marot +2
Integrating structural information and metadata, such as gender, social status, or interests, enriches networks and enables a better understanding of the large-scale structure of c…
Optimising the mitigation of epidemic spreading through targeted adoption of contact tracing apps
Aleix Bassolas, Andrea Santoro, Sandro Sousa +2
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is the first epidemic in human history in which digital contact-tracing has been deployed at a global scale. Tracking and quarantining all the contact…
Uncovering the socioeconomic facets of human mobility
Hugo Barbosa, Surendra Hazarie, Brian Dickinson +6
Given the rapid recent trend of urbanization, a better understanding of how urban infrastructure mediates socioeconomic interactions and economic systems is of vital importance. Wh…
First-passage times to quantify and compare structural correlations and heterogeneity in complex systems
Aleix Bassolas, Vincenzo Nicosia
Virtually all the emergent properties of a complex system are rooted in the non-homogeneous nature of the behaviours of its elements and of the interactions among them. However, th…
Disproportionate incidence of COVID-19 in African Americans correlates with dynamic segregation
Aleix Bassolas, Sandro Sousa, Vincenzo Nicosia
Socio-economic disparities quite often have a central role in the unfolding of large-scale catastrophic events. One of the most concerning aspects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemics…
Impact of urban structure on infectious disease spreading
Javier Aguilar, Aleix Bassolas, Gourab Ghoshal +8
The ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has been holding the world hostage for more than a year now. Mobility is key to viral spreading and its restriction is the main non-pharmaceutical i…
Field theory for recurrent mobility
Mattia Mazzoli, Alex Molas, Aleix Bassolas +3
Understanding human mobility is crucial for applications such as forecasting epidemic spreading, planning transport infrastructure and urbanism in general. While, traditionally, mo…
Scaling in the recovery of urban transportation systems from special events
Aleix Bassolas, Riccardo Gallotti, Fabio Lamanna +2
Public transportation is a fundamental infrastructure for the daily mobility in cities. Although its capacity is prepared for the usual demand, congestion may rise when huge crowds…
Mobile phone records to feed activity-based travel demand models: MATSim for studying a cordon toll policy in Barcelona
Aleix Bassolas, Jose J. Ramasco, Ricardo Herranz +1
Activity-based models appeared as an answer to the limitations of the traditional trip-based and tour-based four-stage models. The fundamental assumption of activity-based models i…
Touristic site attractiveness seen through Twitter
Aleix Bassolas, Maxime Lenormand, Antònia Tugores +2
Tourism is becoming a significant contributor to medium and long range travels in an increasingly globalized world. Leisure traveling has an important impact on the local and globa…
Systematic comparison of trip distribution laws and models
Maxime Lenormand, Aleix Bassolas, José J. Ramasco
Trip distribution laws are basic for the travel demand characterization needed in transport and urban planning. Several approaches have been considered in the last years. One of th…
