SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR POPULATION TRACKING, COUNTING, AND MOVEMENT ESTIMATION USING MOBILE OPERATIONAL DATA AND/OR GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION IN MOBILE NETWORK

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for population tracking, counting and/or movement estimation.

SOLUTION: In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving mobile phone operational data indicative of user equipment location, where the event data includes location area update messages and periodic registration messages; and performing travel estimation based on the mobile phone operation data, including performing interpolation on data associated with one or more individuals in a population to estimate intermediate positions of a trajectory of each of the one or more individuals for a specified time period based on a shortest path mesh sequence estimation algorithm.
