Personal electronic devices and wearable sensors, in particular, can be used to map the network structure of human mobility and proximity in environments relevant for research in computational social science, urban mobility and public health. In the first part of this talk I will review the experience of the SocioPatterns collaboration <www.sociopatterns.org>, a decade-long international effort, led by my team, aimed at studying high-resolution human social networks using wearable sensors in important settings such as schools, hospitals, and low-resource rural environments. I will illustrate the network structures observed in empirical data, reflect on generalization and data incompleteness, and review modeling approaches based on ideas from network science and machine learning. In the second part of the talk I will shift to the scale of an entire city, discussing the opportunities – and limitations – of using call Detail Record (CDR) data from telephone operators to map urban mobility and socio-economic conditions. I will compare traditional data sources, such as census data and origin-destination surveys, with digital proxies for urban mobility, and I will specifically focus on novel perspectives enabled by gender-disaggregated CDR data. I will close with a reflection on the challenges and promises of using privately-held data for the public interest.

Road rage against the self-driving machine - Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists
by Alberto Cammozzo Jan. 8, 2019

Jan. 8, 2019

<https://thebulletin.org/2019/01/road-rage-against-the-self-driving-machine/> You can usually expect the police blotter on New Year’s Day to offer some choice nuggets from the previous evening’s events. But this year the New York Times took it to another level, kicking off 2019 with a front-page story on a whole new category of crime: harassment of autonomous vehicles. Drawing on 21 police reports first detailed by the Arizona Republic last month, Simon Romero describes how enraged citizens of Chandler, Arizona are facing off against the self-driving cars that Google subsidiary Waymo has been testing around the United States. Averaging 25,000 driverless miles on Arizona roads alone every day, the company has made serious enemies of some city residents. Worried about safety and job security, or maybe just the unsettling new reality they represent, the most agitated Arizonans are doing everything they can to scare the cars away: slashing tires, pelting them with rocks, following them around and cutting them off in their own SUVs.
