“…Whether it is necessary to have detailed information on the movements of each individual to build up a model, or if it is only needed a coarse grain statistics of the mobility as a whole is an open question which still has to be answered [29]. Several works tackle the issue of the correct description of the mobility of human beings, relying on different methods and databases [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37].…”

Dengue epidemics and human mobility

In this work we explore the effects of human mobility on the dispersion of a vector borne disease. We combine an already presented stochastic model for dengue with a simple representation of the daily motion of humans on a schematic city of 20 × 20 blocks with 100 inhabitants in each block. The pattern of motion of the individuals is described in terms of complex networks in which links connect different blocks and the link length distribution is in accordance with recent findings on human mobility. It is shown that human mobility can turn out to be the main driving force of the disease dispersal.

“…Other disciplines began to consider this particular material only recently. Physicists and mathematicians have analyzed dollar bills (Brockmann and Hufnagel, 2007;Brockmann, 2008;Brockmann and Theis, 2008;Brockmann, 2010) or euro coins (van Blokland et al, 2002;Stoyan et al, 2004;Seitz et al, 2009Seitz et al, , 2012 using data publicly contributed over the Internet. Geographers have compared static potential models with observed distribution of dollar bills (Tobler, 1981), or analyzed border and social effects in terms of "contamination" by foreign euro coins (Berroir et al, 2005;Grasland et al, 2002;Grasland and Guérin-Pace, 2003;Grasland et al, 2005a,b;Grasland, 2009;Grasland et al, 2012).…”

With the 2002 introduction of the euro as a common currency in Europe, the possibility has emerged to assess international mobility using this new tracer, given that every coin bears a specific national side. Using a simple two-country framework, four dynamic modeling strategies were designed in order to simulate the diffusion of coins and to understand how this diffusion is affected by population size, mobility rates and coin exchange processes. Methodological implications are raised with respect to aggregation, synchronicity and stochasticity issues. Although each model converges to an equilibrium, the time to reach this end stage and the level of coin mixing in each country strongly varies with the modeling strategy. Calibration is undertaken with French data, using mobility rates as adjustment variables. The experiment shows that convergence to a perfect mix of coins can only be obtained if reciprocal exchanges are modeled, with a time horizon around 2064-while non-reciprocal models indicate an imperfect mix converging in the year 2020 at the latest.

“…Over the last ten years, US physicists have analysed the circulation of onedollar notes across the United States with a view to furthering understanding on the diffusion of other phenomena, such as epidemics (Brockmann and Hufnagel, 2007;Brockmann and Theis, 2008). They have notably succeeded in establishing a link between the regularity of the spatio-temporal reach of the movement of the notes and a mathematical law known as Lévy flights 3 .…”

The circulation of euro coins as markers of European mobility in France

This study examines the social and territorial structure of the relations between Eurozone countries and residents that we grasp by studying the diffusion of foreign euro coins (2002-2011). As a euro coin is conveyed across space by persons, it offers a good representation of both social and spatial networks, as well as it allows the study of both social and territorial inequalities with regards to international connectiveness. We use a series of individual-level representative surveys describing the content of the money bag of an amount of 21,669 respondents and analyse internationalization differences using logistic regressions. The results show that students and executives are the social categories that are the most connected to neighbouring peoples and which are therefore potential vectors of a European identity. They also demonstrate strong spatial and territorial variations of the openness of places and people to the rest of Europe-everything else being equal.
