Abstract

Auto-GPS is a new type of mobile sensing data used to discern human mobility and behavior during a large-scale crisis. Using data collected after the 2011 Great Japan Earthquake, useful information is revealed on how humans react in disaster scenarios and how the evacuation process can be monitored in near real time.
