Human current. (a–e) Illustration of the working of the model. (f–h) Time series of the population, mean velocity, and human current (blue, orange, and green lines represent Tokyo Station with the high population in the city center, Nagatsuda Station with the medium population, and Kazo with the low population in the rural area from Sep 5 to Sep 9, 2022), respectively. (i) Human current cumulative distribution with respect to different directions in semi-log plot. (i-1, i-2, and i-3) The red, orange, and blue lines represent the distributions of the absolute, positive (direction right), and negative (direction left) values of human current, respectively. (i-4) The blue and orange lines represent the distribution of the absolute value of human current in the right and up directions, respectively. The guide lines show the average slopes when approximated by exponential distributions.
