摘要：

Understanding human mobility has many applications in diverse areas, including spread of diseases, city planning, traffic engineering, financial market forecasting, and nowcasting of economic well-being. In the past years, we have studied problems concerning the use of various sources of large-scale data to better inform human mobility and collective travel behavior in cities. In this presentation, I will introduce two main works on the applications of human mobility: traffic demand management and the Electric Vehicles charging planning. In the first task, our target is to understand the impact of mega events using multiple data resources and design feasible travel demand management strategy for a global mitigation of traffic congestion. In the second one, we simulate the travel behavior of more than 500 million population in San Francisco Bay Area in USA, and assign each vehicle driver a probability of using EV. Then we couple the urban mobility with EV charging plan to alleviate the pressure of power grid from the EV charging. Finally, we shift the arrival and departure times of EV drivers to reduce the peak load of EV energy demand in the working area.
