The scales of human mobility

A model shows that human mobility is organized within hierarchical containers that coincide with familiar scales and that a power-law distribution emerges when movements between different containers are combined.

Trip frequency is key ingredient in new law of human travel

An analysis of mobile-phone tracking data has revealed a universal pattern that describes the interplay between the distances travelled by humans on trips and the frequency with which those trips are made.

What human mobility data tell us about COVID-19 spread

Peoples’ movements are linked with the spread of epidemics — but not always in simple ways. In the past two years, new datasets and analyses have shed fresh light on how to relate mobility and contagion.

Evidence for a conserved quantity in human mobility

Analysing high-resolution mobility traces from almost 40,000 individuals reveals that people typically revisit a set of 25 familiar locations day-to-day, but that this set evolves over time and is proportional to the size of their social sphere.
