• Abstract: People flow data are utilized in diverse fields such as urban and commercial planning and disaster management. However, people flow data collected from mobile phones, such as using global positioning system and call detail records data, are difficult to obtain because of privacy issues. Even if the data were obtained, they would be difficult to handle. This study developed pseudo-people-flow data covering all of Japan by combining public statistical and travel survey data from limited urban areas. This dataset is not a representation of actual travel movements but of typical weekday movements of people. Therefore it is expected to be useful for various purposes. Additionally, the dataset represents the seamless movement of people throughout Japan, with no restrictions on coverage, unlike the travel surveys. In this paper, we propose a method for generating pseudo-people-flow and describe the development of a "Pseudo-PFLOW" dataset covering the entire population of approximately 130 million people. We then evaluated the accuracy of the dataset using mobile phone and trip survey data from multiple metropolitan areas. The results showed that a coefficient of determination of more than 0.5 was confirmed for comparisons regarding population distribution and trip volume.

We propose a framework to generate a synthetic population that includes both socioeconomic features (e.g., age, sex, industry) and trip chains (i.e., activity locations)

• Biases in human mobility data impact epidemic modeling [0.0]
  We identify two types of bias caused by unequal access to, and unequal usage of mobile phones. We find evidence for data generation bias in all examined datasets in that high-wealth individuals are overrepresented. To mitigate the skew, we present a framework to debias data and show how simple techniques can be used to increase representativeness.

We conclude with a set of recommendations for inference when using population data.

Crowdsourcing, a popular cost-effective measure to gather labeled training datasets, is not immune to the inherent social biases of crowd workers. We propose a new method based on counterfactual fairness to quantify the degree of inherent social bias in each crowd worker.
