Abstract
This work utilises data from a mobile phone network to observe the com-
munication and movement patterns of the Irish population between specic locations.
A novel technique is applied to mobile phone network billing data to estimate the distri-
bution of the phone network population across the country at key times, namely home
times and work times. From these population distributions, sets of weighted trans-
portation and communications links between locations are generated. These networks
are analysed using indicators commonly employed in network theory such as cluster-
ing coecients and betweenness centrality. Furthermore, the ability to generate such
weighted links when phone network data is unavailable is investigated.
