Our partitioning algorithm yields geographically cohesive regions that correspond remarkably well with traditional maps and with existing commuting and administrative data.
We also want to observe how the accuracy of estimates generated by the Twitter model compares to the accuracy of existing methods of commuting flow estimation.
The results of this analysis show that increasing inequality in the commuting burden largely results from existing institutional discrimination against migrants, especially highly-skilled migrants.
The results hence show that Twitter data can offer a good measurement of local commuting patterns that improves on existing freely available models.
A number of authors [3, 7, 9, 11, 14, 23, 41] explicitly mention intended fulfilment by referring to pre-existing travel routines [9], commuting trips [23] or delivery locations near the own destination [11].
For the relationships between changes in commuting and changes in well-being outcomes, we used existing systematic reviews of the literature, as well as regionally relevant relationships previously developed from systematic reviews.
First, we show that heuristics applied to geolocated Twitter data offer a good proxy for local commuting patterns; one which outperforms the major existing method for estimating these patterns (the radiation model).
The aim of this article is to build on this existing literature by examining the extent to which local commuting patterns in the United Kingdom can be inferred from data sourced from Twitter.
The team aims to optimize existing infrastructure in order to offer fixed, affordable commuting prices to urbanized refugees in South Asia, where transportation options are often limited.
To overcome these hurdles, the authors of the current study constructed models using existing data on total mortality, PM10 concentrations, PM10 health effects, and commuting patterns among towns in the Lombardy region of Italy.
