Using Mobile Positioning Data to Model Locations Meaningful to Users of Mobile Phones (2010, methodology): “Passive mobile positioning data are a secondary source of geographical data that are automatically stored in the memory ﬁles and logs of mobile operators (Ahas et al. , 2008b).”
Improved Response to Disasters and Outbreaks by Tracking Population Movements with Mobile Phone Network Data: A Post-Earthquake Geospatial Study in Haiti (2011, methodology): “This data source has been used to analyse mobility patterns under stable societal conditions [14–16], but not during major societal disruptions such as a natural disaster or a large infectious disease outbreak under unstable conditions.”
Dynamic population mapping using mobile phone data (2014, background): “Most of these studies focused on specific cities or city neighborhoods or groups, and were aimed at understanding traffic flows (40), mapping the intensity of human activities at different times (42 – 44), or exploring seasonality in foreign tourist numbers and destinations (45, 46).”
