Abstract

According to a US Census report [2], the daytime population of cities like Washington D.C. nearly doubles the nighttime population, coining the notion of "Mega Commuting". To understand, explain, and predict urban mobility, our current data-centered era provides a plethora of rich data sources. These data sources capture mobility on the road, including GPS trajectories, metro, bus and taxi origin-destination data, indoor navigation data and many more types and sources of data.
