The limits of visitation entropy as a summary of mobility patterns
SÃlvia de Sojo, Sune Lehmann, Laura Alessandretti
Visitation entropy, the Shannon entropy of an individual's distribution of visits across locations, is a widely used metric in the human mobility literature. Yet, its widespread us…
The Effect of Mobility Trajectory Sparsity on Epidemic Modeling Outcomes
Federico Delussu, Francisco Barreras, Yuan Liao +2
GPS mobility data are increasingly used in epidemic modeling, allowing the construction of co-location networks or population flows. These trajectories typically exhibit high tempo…
Space-time accessibility supports participation in after-work leisure activities
Yuan Liao, Rafael H. M. Pereira, Jorge Gil +2
Understanding how accessibility shapes participation in leisure activities is central to promoting inclusive and vibrant urban life. Conventional accessibility measures often focus…
Women's mobility networks enable more efficient travel
SÃlvia de Sojo, Sune Lehmann, Laura Alessandretti
Our understanding of gender differences in mobility is marked by a clear tension: surveys portray women's movements as more complex than men's, while digital traces suggest less di…
Urban mobility enables deprivation bubble breaking in Indian and Mexican cities
Yuan Liao, Federico Delussu, SÃlvia de Sojo +2
Urban deprivation is traditionally measured using static, residence-based indicators, capturing the socioeconomic, demographic, and spatial conditions of neighborhoods. However, th…
HoWDe: a validated algorithm for Home and Work location Detection
SÃlvia De Sojo, Lorenzo Lucchini, Ollin D. Langle-Chimal +2
Smartphone location data have become a key resource for understanding urban mobility, yet extracting actionable insights requires robust and reproducible preprocessing pipelines. A…
