Is there any dataset available containing the mobility patterns of people within any city? Can we know which places people have visited in different time intervals with exact location information (i.e geo coordinates latitude and longitude)?
It is ok to have data annonymized to preserve the identity of individuals.

Answer
We did a paper based questionaire survey in a city in Indonesia asking citizens for the origin/destination address and the number of kilometers for commuting/schooling everyday. Though it was not using sophisticated IoT technology the data was good due to the skilled staff members asking the questions.

I am reviewing some mobility flow data of the United States. Does anyone have recommendations regarding public access to big datasets such as mobile phone data, smart card data, or daily activities with the explicit origin and destination locations within the US (preferably, the individual-level data and not city or county level)?

Hi, thanks for sharing the links. The daily and weekly flows between CBG to POI, CBG to CBG are gathered in the first two links, are there any sources that covers POI to POI inside a city?

My research area is routing protocol for MANET networks, and I'm interested to test my proposition with a human mobility scenario.
I'm using NS2 for the implementation and simulation.
I used previously BonnMotion to generate mobility scenarios, but it doesn't provide any human mobility. I need another mobility generator that creates human mobility scenario.

The nomadic community mobility model (Nc) is close to human mobility . for example it uses to simulates the motion of people's trips in the museum. NC is a type of group mobility model and can be generated using boon Motion softwere.

I need to generate mobility trajectories in a floating car format with (x,y and time) or (lat, lon and time) with any spatio-temporal frequency?
I am looking for both options of map-matched trajectories over a street network or a random simulation in a simple x,y space?

After the carantine (and the 2-3 month confinement), people from all over the world (especially from Europe) will make new decisions about their residential mobility. Taking into account that families have been confined inside very small houses, often in subhuman conditions, in overcrowded cities: Will this pandemic produce the great exodus of people from the city to the villages? Will immigrants return to their countries of origin with more intensity that before?

Mobility is changing. New types of mobility concepts are needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and thus mitigate climate change or to prevent the mobility sector from becoming overloaded. Individual mobility as we know it today will not exist in this form in the coming decades! In the literature, numerous concepts such as alternative drive concepts, ridehailing, ridepooling, car sharing, more attractive public transport, better cycling and walking infrastructure are listed for future mobility. What is missing are studies that prove the effectiveness, for example, in terms of reducing greenhouse gas emissions! Which concepts offer the highest potentials considering which parameters (acceptance, infrastructure, financing, etc.)? Which concepts offer the least? Do you know studies on this topic?

This paper conducted a systematic review of various models of traffic impacts of AVs on travel behavior and land use in different approaches (; Agent-based-Model, Activity-based-Mode, Mode-Choice Model, etc).
I am interested in this summary;
private AVs – lead to increases in population in well-connected
distant suburbs and rural regions, i.e. a much more dispersed and scattered
urban growth pattern.
Meanwhile, SAVs in combination with a ridesharing scheme, or a more efficient public transportation system due to automatization (e.g. AV shuttles for the last mile) could lead to an increase in population in urban areas, i.e. population clustering in urban areas
pleach check;

We are currently looking to recognize not only steps but detailed gait data (e.g. Shape Context and Linear Time Normalized) based on smartphone accelerometer data. We appreciate hints to existing software solutions (Android, iOS or device independent) as well as related work on the topic. Also, we would like to connect with other groups working on that subject.
We will use this data to support movement training as well as everyday walking activities of older adults (typically aged between 60 and 85).

For sure you may consider using a combination of BLE sensors combined with a smart phone app ... both MbientLab (https://mbientlab.com) and NOTCH (https://wearnotch.com) provide developer resources and examples ... Im using them to pilot study movement/gait analysis in connection to rehabilitation ... hope this helps ....

The investigation of past human mobility and diet using stable isotope measurements of carbon (apatite and collagen), nitrogen, oxygen and strontium is a standardized practice in archaeology. Inter-sample comparisons derived from different labs are usually performed but is not clear if some differences emerging from the use of measurements obtained in distinct laboratories are negligible or on the contrary are significant.

I am trying to implement graph based slam using LIDAR data. So far I have created a pose graph and used scan matching to obtain odometery data. I have used this data to create pose constraints (edges) between successive nodes. Now I need to add loop closing edges but i dont know how to go about it. I should I detect loop closing edges.
Relevant answer
Answer
A possibility is to combine scan matching with RANSAC.

Resistance in the new social movements has an anti-systemic nature. It means revolutionizing power from below. Sanctuary cities are a form of resistance against freedom of movement, recognition of human rights for all, regardless of their migratory status. Moving a step further along this line of thought, how can migrant organizations and movements promote a resistance movement?

Dear Eberhard and Ronaldo.
Many thanks for your comments, I sincerely didn't understand Eberthard's comment, I don't see the contradiction. If you can elaborate more I would very much appreciate your feedback.
Ronaldo: we are incorporating the topic of sanctuary cities or rebel cities (following Harvey) in the agenda of the VIII World Socialcial Forum on Migrations that would take place in Mexico City, November 2018. There is a deep restructuring process (very positive in my opinion) of the WSF and its thematic Fora. One key issue is the unity of social movements (including trade unions and peasant movements), and the elaboration of an action plan from bellow in order to strategically confront the epochal crisis of the capitalism system following what Samir Amin characterises as the era of generalised monopolies in tone with the Monthly Review school of thought.

More especifically how we could use Big Data to capture and analyze cross-border human mobility in time and space?
Relevant answer
Answer
I am assuming that you are interested in the methodological aspect of the topic rather than specific tools.
You can use geo-located tweets or cellphone call detail records to capture the mobility at the individual level. The availability of these two data types depends on the geographic area of interest. While you can get a wealth of data in developed/developing countries, chances are low when it comes to countries with civil war (e.g., Syria). You can still estimate cross-border mobility using approaches like the gravity model or the radiation model.
When it comes to the analyses, you can do some time series analysis assuming that you capture the cross-border mobility over time. This is just an example, eventually your analyses depend on your research question. If you provide more specific modeling case, you may get more tailored answers.

I have a bunch of 3D points and connections among these points. I want to plot a 3D network based on them. Any software or open source library can be used to do so? 
Relevant answer
Answer
Probably the most powerful software right now for that purpose is Gephi (free):
You probably want to check it's features first:
As for programming resources you might want to take a look into (Python libraries):
Also many times you might want to associate those libraries to a plot engine (2D or 3D). Probably the most popular in Python are:
Hope it helps.
