A universal model for mobility and migration patterns
Paper investigates human mobility, trip distribution, and structure of transportation networks. It propose theoretical "radiation model", which provides general description of various phenomena (commuting, migration, commodity and phone-call flows) resulting from socio-economic interactions. Radiation model is included in GLEAMviz computational infrastructure for epidemic modelling (developed by MoBS Lab, Northeastern University, Boston and ISI Foundation, Turin) to simulate commuting patterns [tinyurl.com/gen-eng-93]. Paper featured in Nature News and Views [tinyurl.com/gen-eng-94], Nature Podcast [tinyurl.com/gen-eng-95] and in international media including Le Scienze and MIT News. Identified as highlight in REF5 and in top 5% of most-cited in journal since publication (Web-of-Science, 23/10/2013).
