Unravelling daily human mobility motifs
Christian Schneider,Vitaly Belik,Vitaly Belik,Thomas Couronné,Zbigniew Smoreda,Marta C. González +5 more
TL;DR: Daily human mobility can be reproduced by an analytically tractable framework for Markov chains by modelling periods of high-frequency trips followed by periods of lower activity as the key ingredient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geographical dispersal of mobile communication networks
Renaud Lambiotte,Renaud Lambiotte,Vincent D. Blondel,Cristobald de Kerchove,Etienne Huens,Christophe Prieur,Zbigniew Smoreda,Paul Van Dooren +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the degree distribution in this network has a power-law degree distribution k−5 and that the probability that two customers are connected by a link follows a gravity model, i.e. decreases as d−2, where d is the distance between the customers.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the Use of Human Mobility Proxies for Modeling Epidemics
Michele Tizzoni,Paolo Bajardi,Adeline Decuyper,Guillaume Kon Kam King,Christian Schneider,Vincent D. Blondel,Zbigniew Smoreda,Marta C. González,Vittoria Colizza +8 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that proxies perform differently in approximating commuting patterns for disease spread at different resolution scales, with the radiation model showing higher accuracy than mobile phone data when the seed is central in the network, the opposite being observed for peripheral locations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are social networks technologically embedded? How networks are changing today with changes in communication technology
TL;DR: It is argued that the general change observed over the last 20 years is from established roles to mutual reachability, and how the relational economy is affected by the deployment of communication technologies is illustrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
The scaling of human interactions with city size
Markus Schläpfer,Luís M. A. Bettencourt,Sebastian Grauwin,Mathias Raschke,Rob Claxton,Zbigniew Smoreda,Geoffrey B. West,Carlo Ratti +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that both the total number of contacts and the total communication activity grow superlinearly with city population size, according to well-defined scaling relations and resulting from a multiplicative increase that affects most citizens.
