TLDR
CDR data from call detail records is used to analyze people flow in and out of a suburban city near New York City to help urban planners better understand city dynamics.Abstract:
Cellular data from call detail records can help urban planners better understand city dynamics. The authors use CDR data to analyze people flow in and out of a suburban city near New York City.read more

Tapprints: your finger taps have fingerprints
TL;DR: The location of screen taps on modern smartphones and tablets can be identified from accelerometer and gyroscope readings, and TapPrints, a framework for inferring the location of taps on mobile device touch-screens using motion sensor data combined with machine learning analysis is presented.

Richard A. Becker,Ramón Cáceres,Karrie J. Hanson,Sibren Isaacman,Ji Meng Loh,Margaret Martonosi,James Rowland,Simon Urbanek,Alexander Varshavsky,Chris Volinsky +9 more
TL;DR: Anonymous location data from cellular phone networks sheds light on how people move around on a large scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploring universal patterns in human home-work commuting from mobile phone data.
TL;DR: This work applies mobile phone call detail records to a broad range of datasets, showing that home-work time distributions and average values within a single region are indeed largely independent of commute distance or country–despite substantial spatial and infrastructural differences.

Big Data Integration
Xin Luna Dong,Divesh Srivastava +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a tutorial explores the progress that has been made by the data integration community on the topics of schema mapping, record linkage and data fusion in addressing these novel challenges faced by big data integration, and identifies a range of open problems for the community.
Journal ArticleDOI
Data from mobile phone operators
TL;DR: A comprehensive review and a typology of spatial studies on mobile phone data is provided, and the applicability of such digital data to develop innovative applications for enhanced urban management is highlighted.

Understanding individual human mobility patterns
Marta C. González,A R Cesar Hidalgo,A R Cesar Hidalgo,Albert-László Barabási,Albert-László Barabási,Albert-László Barabási +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors study the trajectory of 100,000 anonymized mobile phone users whose position is tracked for a six-month period and find that the individual travel patterns collapse into a single spatial probability distribution, indicating that humans follow simple reproducible patterns.

Limits of Predictability in Human Mobility
Chaoming Song,Zehui Qu,Zehui Qu,Nicholas Blumm,Nicholas Blumm,Albert-László Barabási,Albert-László Barabási +6 more
TL;DR: Analysis of the trajectories of people carrying cell phones reveals that human mobility patterns are highly predictable, and a remarkable lack of variability in predictability is found, which is largely independent of the distance users cover on a regular basis.

Mobile Landscapes: Using Location Data from Cell Phones for Urban Analysis
TL;DR: The ‘Mobile Landscapes' project is presented: an application in the metropolitan area of Milan, Italy, based on the geographical mapping of cell phone usage at different times of the day, which enables a graphic representation of the intensity of urban activities and their evolution through space and time.
