title = "Particle filter for real-time human mobility prediction following unprecedented disaster",
abstract = "Real-time estimation of human mobility following a massive disaster will play a crucial role in disaster relief. Because human mobility in massive disasters is quite different from their usual mobility, real-time human location data is necessary for precise estimation. Due to privacy concerns, real-time data is anonymized and a popular form of anonymization is population distribution. In this paper, we aim to estimate human mobility following an unprecedented disaster using such population distribution data. To overcome technical obstacles including high dimensionality, we propose novel particle filter by devising proposal distribution. Our proposal distribution provides states considering both prediction model and acquired observation. Therefore, particles maintain high likelihood. In the experiments, our methods realized more accurate estimation than the baselines, and its estimated mobility was consistent with the survey researches. The computational cost is significantly low enough for real-time operations. The GPS data collected on the day of the Great East Japan Earthquake is used for the evaluation.",
