Abstract

In this chapter we present an overview of the main sources of data coming from mobile phone tracking and models allowing the use of these data. Several issues due to the quality of mobile phone data are explained. In particular, we provide a taxonomy of mobile phone data imprecision and suggest new metrics to estimate the basic properties of displacements are defined: mobility intensity (speed-like measure) and uncertainty.
