Abstract
A first glance at the title of this book might suggest it to be very specialised. Indeed this
perhaps reflects my own expectations before opening it. However, once I start reading it I
first realised that the topic in itself has a broad portfolio of applications. For example, the
ideas used in this book allow the modelling of movements of people, vehicles or animals.
These topics then lead to other application areas – for example, tracking people’s move-
ments via mobile phone Global Positioning System (GPS) signals allows monitoring of
census-based travel-to-work data or allows novel approaches to the estimation of daytime
populations of cities to be carried out.
