A Design of Activity-Based Mobility Intervention
Human mobility influences our society and vice versa. During the COVID-19 pandemic, non-pharmaceutical intervention that alters activity-based mobility such as work-from-home greatly impacted human mobility patterns. Many studies on developing mitigation strategies have employed or implemented their own mobility intervention within their model assumption. For fair evaluation between intervention strategies across models, it is significant to set up compatible experimental environments. However, it is difficult to apply the identical intervention to different kinds of models and compare their effectiveness because each model might have different assumptions, capabilities, and implementations. Even if one can apply intervention to heterogeneous models, it may produce undesirable artifacts due to difference of models and integration with intervention. Therefore, minimizing undesirable artifacts and facilitating intervention experiments across heterogeneous models are substantial. Taking this into account, this paper investigates a design of activity-based mobility intervention (ABMI). We define ABMI together with related concepts and develop an extensible data model and schema of ABMI based on the 5W1H method that can be used in different models. As a case study, we apply the ABMI model to a micro-simulation to demonstrate the usability of the proposed model. We expect that standardized ABMI and interfaces may help to streamline development and experiments of intervention strategies across heterogeneous models.

Temporal Dynamics of Place and Mobility
Despite variations in the population, climate, economics, politics, and culture, every country and city around the world shares the same time constraints: there are only 24 hours per day. Yet, the time-dependent activity patterns of when people interact with or move between public, private, and commercial locations change across space and across spatial scales. The temporal dynamics of a place reveal unique patterns based on the complex social, economic, and cultural interactions of humans across the built environment. The continued expansion of multi-modal temporal and geospatial data has attracted many disciplines to study temporal dynamics, each with its own interests, data, methods, and use cases. A comprehensive understanding of how the temporal patterns of a place are created, disrupted, and evolve is reliant on disciplines collaborating and sharing their unique perspectives. This chapter highlights ongoing work in this field and proposes core research questions that should be pursued with the appropriate collaboration and synthesis of data.
