Mobility Patterns, Big Data and Transport Analytics: Tools and Applications for Modeling, Second Edition provides a guide to the new analytical framework and its relation to big data, focusing on capturing, predicting, visualizing, and controlling mobility patterns-a key aspect of transportation modeling. The book features prominent international experts who provide overviews on new analytical frameworks, applications, and concepts in mobility analysis and transportation systems. Fields covered are evolving rapidly, and this new edition updates existing material and provides new chapters that reflect recent developments in the field (such as the emergence of active, transfer and reinforcement learning).Users will find a detailed, mobility 'structural' analysis and a look at the extensive behavioral characteristics of transport, observability requirements, limitations for realistic transportation applications, and transportation systems analysis that are related to complex processes and phenomena. This book bridges the gap between big data, data science, and transportation systems analysis with a study of big data's impact on mobility and an introduction to the tools necessary to apply new techniques. - Guides readers through the paradigm-shifting opportunities and challenges of handling Big Data in transportation modeling and analytics- Covers current analytical innovations focused on capturing, predicting, visualizing, and controlling mobility patterns, while discussing future trends- Delivers an introduction to transportation-related information advances, providing a benchmark reference by world-leading experts in the field- Features a companion website with videos showing analyses performed, as well as test codes and data-sets, thus allowing readers to recreate and apply highlighted techniques to their own data
