Our new paper on “Graph based mobility profiling” was accepted at Computers, Environment and Urban Systems (CEUS) and is now available online. We propose a graph based workflow to identify groups of persons with similar mobility behavior based on person specific graphs that describe the mobility behavior. Our approach is privacy friendly, does not depend on a specific clustering algorithm, is robust against the choice of hyperparameters, does not require specific labels in the dataset, and is not limited to specific types of tracking data. We show in the paper how this can be used to evaluate the impact of new mobility offers.
The paper is open access and the source code of the project is available on our Github.
