報(bào)告題目：Uncovering Spatial Structures in Urban and Regional Systems from Communication and Transportation Big Data: Two Case Studies
報(bào) 告 人：Prof. Jean-Claude Thill Knight Foundation Distinguished Professor, University of North Carolina, Charlotte, USA; Editor-in-Chief of Computers, Environment and Urban Systems
報(bào)告摘要:
Transportation and communication systems generate large volumes of data that can reveal otherwise difficult to observe and measure aspects of modern societies. These data sets can legitimately be called ‘big data’. This lecture will present two cases where meaningful and novel information on spatial organization has been extracted from such big data. The first case is that of smart card bus data in Beijing, from which commuting patterns are extracted to complement conventional travel behavior surveys. The second case pertains to cell phone data in Heilongjiang Province, which enable to establish the central place structure of the province using principles and techniques of network science.
