Abstract

Using anonymized mobile phone records, data mining and visualization techniques were employed to understand populations and seasonal mobility patterns. A large CDR dataset provided by Orange Telecom served as an information source on the lives, activities, locations, and mobility of phone users in West Africa. Population and mobility models were built for Senegal. This knowledge is useful in modeling disease transmission and mitigation strategies as well as in the design and evaluation of effective policies for economic development.
