Professors Constantinos Antoniou, Loukas Dimitriou and Francisco Pereira edited a new book with contributions from MLSM members Filipe Rodrigues, Inon Peled and Kristian Henrickson. The book, entitled “Mobility Patterns, Big Data and Transport Analytics” and published by Elsevier, is available here.

Description

Mobility Patterns, Big Data and Transport Analytics provides a guide to the new analytical framework and its relation to big data, focusing on capturing, predicting, visualizing and controlling mobility patterns – a key aspect of transportation modeling. The book features prominent international experts who provide overviews on new analytical frameworks, applications and concepts in mobility analysis and transportation systems. Users will find a detailed, mobility ‘structural’ analysis and a look at the extensive behavioral characteristics of transport, observability requirements and limitations for realistic transportation applications and transportation systems analysis that are related to complex processes and phenomena.

This book bridges the gap between big data, data science, and transportation systems analysis with a study of big data’s impact on mobility and an introduction to the tools necessary to apply new techniques. View more >
