1 204 - Computer Modeling: From Human Mobility to Transportation Networks

Institution:

Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Subject:

Description:

Theory and application for modeling individual travels at a country scale. Reviews mathematical methods to describe random movement. Presents statistical methods to identify the structure inherent in daily behavior, with models that can accurately analyze, predict, and cluster multimodal data from individuals within a population; algorithms to model and characterize complex networks; applications of network theory to transportation and road networks; and models of aggregated travels and its implications in spreading dynamics. Lectures reinforced with case studies, which require analysis using data sets from actual applications.
