From routine to better network services

In this work, we assess the routinary behavior of people and point out means to explore it in order to provide better network services. We have studied two real datasets representing together more than 6 years of trajectories from people´s daily lives. The results show three behaviors on people´s mobility regardless the transportation mode: tendency to take shortest paths, highly confined and repetitive trajectories. Finally, we show some network scenarios in which those behaviors might be used to benefit people.
