Social Physics: A manifesto
János Kertész, Marc Barthelemny, Marc Barthelemy +21
Social Physics seeks quantitative, empirically testable explanations of collective human behavior. Its name has a long and contested history, but its contemporary program is neithe…
Glassy dynamics of metropolitan human mobility frozen near the gravitational equilibrium
Yixuan Y. Zheng, Hideki Takayasu, Misako Takayasu
This research establishes a connection between macroscopic urban commuting flows and thermal equilibrium. Using mobility data from around 30 million records across six Japanese cit…
Do Railway Commuters Exhibit Consistent Route Choice Rationality Across Different Contexts and Time? Evidence from Tokyo metropolitan Commutes
Yixuan Y Zheng, Hideki Takayasu, Misako Takayasu
In urban railway systems, if every commuter were perfectly rational, concentrated demand on optimal routes would undermine system performance. Understanding the actual degree of co…
Novel approaches to urban science problems: human mobility description by physical analogy of electric circuit network based on GPS data
Zhihua Zhong, Hideki Tayakasu, Misako Takayasu
Human mobility in an urban area is complicated; the origins, destinations, and transport methods of each person differ. The quantitative description of urban human mobility has rec…
A complexity perspective on the geographical location of companies: How distance reduce trade between firms
Eduardo Viegas, Orr Levy, Shlomo Havlin +2
Geometrical distance is an important constraining factor underpinning the emergence of social and economic interactions of complex systems. Yet, agent-based studies supported by gr…
Approximation of human flow in urban areas by a network of electric circuits : Potential fields and fluctuation-dissipation relations
Yohei Shida, Jun'ichi Ozaki, Hideki Takayasu +1
Owing to the big data the extension of physical laws on nonmaterial has seen numerous successes, and human mobility is one of the scientific frontier topics. Recent GPS technology…
