Adaptive modeling of urban dynamics during ephemeral event via mobile phone traces
The communication devices have produced digital traces for their users either
voluntarily or not. This type of collective data can give powerful indications
that are affecting the urban systems design and development. In this study
mobile phone data during Armada event is investigated. Analyzing mobile phone
traces gives conceptual views about individuals densities and their mobility
patterns in the urban city. The geo-visualization and statistical techniques
have been used for understanding human mobility collectively and individually.
The undertaken substantial parameters are inter-event times, travel distances
(displacements) and radius of gyration. They have been analyzed and simulated
using computing platform by integrating various applications for huge database
management, visualization, analysis, and simulation. Accordingly, the general
population pattern law has been extracted. The study contribution outcomes have
revealed both the individuals densities in static perspective and individuals
mobility in dynamic perspective with multi levels of abstraction (macroscopic,
mesoscopic, microscopic)
