• Authors: Amee Trivedi, Jeremy Gummeson, Prashant Shenoy
• Abstract summary: We empirically analyze the mobility of modern Internet users owning multiple devices at multiple spatial scales using a large campus WiFi dataset. Our results show that mobility of multiple devices belonging to a user needs to be analyzed and modeled as a group, rather than independently. Our analysis shows that the mobility of users shows different characteristics at different spatial scales such as within and across buildings.

• Abstract: Understanding the mobility of humans and their devices is a fundamental problem in mobile computing. While there has been much work on empirical analysis of human mobility using mobile device data, prior work has largely assumed devices to be independent and has not considered the implications of modern Internet users owning multiple mobile devices that exhibit correlated mobility patterns. Also, prior work has analyzed mobility at the spatial scale of the underlying mobile dataset and has not analyzed mobility characteristics at different spatial scales and its implications on system design. In this paper, we empirically analyze the mobility of modern Internet users owning multiple devices at multiple spatial scales using a large campus WiFi dataset. First, our results show that mobility of multiple devices belonging to a user needs to be analyzed and modeled as a group, rather than independently, and that there are substantial differences in the correlations exhibited by device trajectories across users that also need to be considered. Second, our analysis shows that the mobility of users shows different characteristics at different spatial scales such as within and across buildings. Third, we demonstrate the implications of these results by presenting generative models that highlight the importance of considering the spatial scale of mobility as well as multi-device mobility. More broadly, our empirical results point to the need for new modeling research to fully capture the nuances of mobility of modern multi-device users.

  Long-term urban mobility predictions play a crucial role in the effective management of urban facilities and services. Traditionally, urban mobility data has been structured as videos, treating longitude and latitude as fundamental pixels. In our research, we introduce a fresh perspective on urban mobility prediction. Instead of oversimplifying urban mobility data as traditional video data, we regard it as a complex time series.
