• Abstract: Trip flow between areas is a fundamental metric for human mobility research. Given its identification with travel demand and its relevance for transportation and urban planning, many models have been developed for its estimation. These models focus on flow intensity, disregarding the information provided by the local mobility orientation. A field-theoretic approach can overcome this issue and handling both intensity and direction at once. Here we propose a general vector-field representation starting from individuals' trajectories valid for any type of mobility. By introducing four models of spatial exploration, we show how individuals' elections determine the mesoscopic properties of the mobility field. Distance optimization in long displacements and random-like local exploration are necessary to reproduce empirical field features observed in Chinese logistic data and in New York City Foursquare check-ins. Our framework is an essential tool to capture hidden symmetries in mesoscopic urban mobility, it establishes a benchmark to test the validity of mobility models and opens the doors to the use of field theory in a wide spectrum of applications.

  The ability to autonomously explore and navigate a physical space is a fundamental requirement for virtually any mobile autonomous agent.
