Abstract :
In this paper we propose to study urban mobility by using mobile phone data. New metrics to estimate the basic properties of displacements are defined: mobility intensity (speed-like measure) and uncertainty. Mobile phone data from technical GSM network probes were used in the study. A spatiotemporal analysis of antennas activity and user mobility in Paris region is proposed in order to validate these metrics.
