(b) Average and standard deviation of the flows N (i, j, d) averaged over traffic flows versus the date d (from 1st January to 12th February).

Understanding how interurban movements can modify the spatial distribution of the population is important for transport planning but is also a fundamental ingredient for epidemic modeling. We focus here on vacation trips (for all transportation modes) during the Chinese Lunar New Year and compare the results for 2019 with the ones for 2020 where tr...

... first consider the distribution of all flows of individuals N (i, j, d) for all cities i and j and all days d and which is shown in Fig. 1 (a). The maximum flow is of order 10 5 and the average of order 10 3 indicating a broad distribution. A power law fit is consistent with this picture with an exponent α ≈ 2.3 ( Fig. 1 (a)). This heterogeneity is confirmed in Fig. 1 (b) which shows both the average value µ d and the standard deviation σ d computed over all inter-city flows ...

This heterogeneity is probably due to the large diversity of cities that can serve as origins or destinations of flows (see below for ...

This heterogeneity is probably due to the large diversity of cities that can serve as origins or destinations of flows (see below for further analysis). An important feature that we can observe on Fig. 1 (b) is the sharp drop of the standard deviation after Jan. 25th, the Lunar New Year (LNY), which we will see below is mainly due to the travel ban (see also Fig. S1, S3 in SI for a detailed ...
