Abstract

Mobile phone data contain the information of each interaction between mobile phones and telecommunication infrastructures. These data provide a wealth of information about urban dynamics and human activities since each mobile phone can be seen as a sensor that senses the geographic position of the subscriber holder in real time. In this paper, we introduce an open-source and web-based data visualization tool for analyzing and displaying people flow information using mobile phone data. The developed tool provides users a user-friendly interface for data visualization. We demonstrate how to install and display this tool by using real mobile phone data.
