Integrating Human Mobility Models with Epidemic Modeling: A Framework for Generating Synthetic Temporal Contact Networks by Diaoulé Diallo, Jurij Schoenfeld, René Schmieding, Sascha Korf, Martin J. Kühn, Tobias Hecking

“…Existing solutions typically rely either on empirical studies that capture fine-grained interactions via Bluetooth or wearable sensors in confined settings or on large-scale simulation frameworks that model entire populations using generalized assumptions. However, for most realistic modeling of epidemic spread and the evaluation of countermeasures, there is a critical need for highly resolved, temporal contact networks that encompass multiple venues without sacrificing the intricate dynamics of real-world contacts. …”
