On the importance of trip destination for modelling individual human mobility patterns

The Importance of Trip Destination in Determining Transit Share

For a variety of reasons, policymakers in recent years have taken a greater interest in increasing the use of transit. However, it is difficult to substantially impact transit use at a large scale, because it is strongly dependent on development density and other slow-changing features of urban land use. This article argues that policymakers hoping to increase transit use should focus on increa...

Understanding individual human mobility patterns Supplementary Material

Human Mobility Patterns Modelling using CDRs

The research objectives are exploring characteristics of human mobility patterns, subsequently modelling them mathematically depending on inter-event time ∆t and traveled distances ∆rparameters using CDRs (Call Detailed Records). The observations are obtained from Armada festival in France. Understanding, modelling and simulating human mobility among urban regions is excitement approach, due to...

the effects of cooperative versus individual directed reading thinking activities on students inferential and referential questions

two groups of students were assigned as experimental and control ones, and were given instruction on directed reading-thinking activities and after some treatment, they were post-tested. although the initial pre-test did not show any significant differences, the final post-test result revealed that the cooperative reading comprehension helped the experimental group. the cooperative students’...
