SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR POPULATION TRACKING, COUNTING, AND MOVEMENT ESTIMATION USING MOBILE OPERATIONAL DATA AND/OR GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION IN MOBILE NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving mobile phone operational data indicative of user equipment location, the event data comprising 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.
