Big data analysis of mobility patterns and their energy implications
-Developing methodologies for deriving individuals travel patterns via big data. The patterns are analysed based on several socio-economic characteristics, built environment characteristics/urban form, transport mode used, time of the day, happiness, weather conditions etc., while scenarios are constructed for the implications of mobility patterns on energy consumption.
