Table 2.

Popular features extracted from mobility data.

feature short description
length of trips trips are defined specific to applications, for example, movement between two stay points, or using a single mode of transport, etc.
distance from home home location is often absent in the data for privacy reasons. It is often inferred using heuristics like the location at night
different places visited characterized by the count of unique ones or the frequency distribution represented with entropy
radius of gyration deviation from the centroid of the collection of places visited (S): (1/|S|)lSlC22, where C is the centroid location of S
entropy-based measures entropy of the distribution of the places visited
POI-based features variance in the type of POIs, relative frequencies, etc.
