Mobilis in mobile: a probabilistic and chronotopic model of mobility in urban spaces
Abstract:
In this communication we propose an urban mobility model based on individual random walk driven by a chronotopic action with a deterministic public transportation network. In the absence of chronotopoi the mean field analytic results are found in good agreement with simulations on a computer. When the chronotopoi are switched on, they attract people according to a given law and we obtain a sort of diffusive motion. The model can describe many different kinds of dynamical systems, including biological ones. The work is in progress and the next step will be an empirical test in a concrete case.
