    Uncovering human behavioral heterogeneity in urban mobility under the impacts of disruptive weather events

    查看更多>>摘要:Abstract Understanding the response of human mobility to disruptive weather events is beneficial for the development of urban risk mitigation and emergency response policies, thus enhancing urban resilience. Most human mobility studies relying on aggregate flow data inevitably neglect the heterogeneity of disaggregate travel patterns with distinctive spatiotemporal characteristics, causing the uncertainty problem for identifying meaningful travel behaviors. Moreover, there is a lack of robust methodological approaches to extracting stable and genuine travel patterns under normal or disruptive situations. To address these issues, this study proposes a data-driven approach to spatiotemporal flow decomposition based on non-negative matrix factorization. With sparseness factored in the decomposition, stable disaggregate travel patterns can be extracted from origin-destination mobility flows. By combining temporal, spatial, and urban functional perspectives, heterogeneous travel behaviors can be analyzed and inferred. With a case study of the Zhengzhou ‘7.20’ heavy rainfall in 2021, the most extreme rainfall ever recorded in China, this study validated the effectiveness of the proposed approach and managed to identify representative and interesting travel patterns and behaviors, facilitating a better understanding of human travel behaviors under external impacts. In practice, this study can provide valuable insights for coping strategies in the face of increasingly frequent disruptive events.

    Quantifying local mobility patterns in urban human mobility data

This study introduces a novel mobility measure – the Local Mobility Index (LMI) – combining geometry-based mobility metrics and accessibility measures. The LMI can be considered a measure of ‘relative localness’ by integrating preferences into the assessment of local mobility patterns, offering a novel measure for understanding mobility behavior in urban contexts. The LMI improves upon existing measures as it captures individual choice for local destinations through measuring whether individuals select nearby destinations; accounting for the unequal spatial distribution of urban amenities. Our contribution is mainly methodological, advancing the field by introducing a metric that captures different aspects of mobility compared to conventional mobility metrics. Leveraging mobile-phone-based GPS data, we examine the LMI using 759 individuals across three cities in England. We found that the LMI captures a new and distinct dimension of urban mobility, as evidenced by its weak correlation with established metrics. Therefore, LMI's capacity to highlight previously undetected aspects of mobility behavior, underscores its importance for advancing research and urban planning.

    查看更多>>摘要:Abstract Data mining of network-constrained trajectories has broad applications in the GIScience field. The calculation of a complete trajectory similarity matrix is a key step in various data mining algorithms. However, computing this matrix is computationally intensive for large datasets, as it involves numerous point-to-point shortest-path (PPSP) queries. To tackle this issue, we propose a new spatiotemporal construct called the space-time tree, which directly delineates the network distance from a query trajectory to any network space-time point. By constructing the space-time tree, we can efficiently compute the trajectory similarity matrix without additional PPSP queries. The space-time tree supports several similarity metrics, including closest pair distance, furthest pair distance, longest common subsequence (LCSS), and distance-weighted LCSS. It can further integrate with advanced spatiotemporal query techniques for scalable partial trajectory similarity matrix calculations. A case study using real datasets was conducted to apply the space-time tree in the trajectory clustering application. The results show that the space-time tree completed the clustering task on 0.5 million trajectories within 49 minutes, achieving a nearly 147-fold speedup compared to state-of-the-art methods.

    查看更多>>摘要:Abstract The rise in natural disasters and climate-induced events, such as wildfires, hurricanes, and flooding, has significantly affected urban life. These events can disrupt daily activity and flows of individuals and goods on road and transit networks. To enhance urban resilience against disasters, it’s crucial to study and understand road network vulnerability, utilizing data-driven insights to inform planning and preparedness efforts. The aim of this paper is to develop a data-driven exploratory approach to assess vulnerability in road networks in response to a disruption. To accomplish this, we compare the centrality of road segments before, during, and after disaster, considering the network topological structure and movement activity as it is observed through large tracking data of cellphone traces on the network. The novelty of our approach lies in inferring the impact from movement data, instead of manually removing links from the network. The results obtained from this study suggest that incorporating movement data into the assessment of network functionality provides a more realistic estimation of the road network vulnerability in response to a disruption, compared to solely using network topology.
