Abstract: 

Things (IoT) will mean that the amount of devices that connect to the Internet will rise massively. This is already giving rise to the creation of massive amounts of data. Spatial and temporal mobility patterns of things and societies as a whole can be characterized based on the interactions that we are able to capture from the IoT sensors.
In this presentation, we will review what we can learn from human mobility patterns, how they can be used to optimize traffic, city planning and tourist attractions. We will review the challenges associated with privacy and security regulation when analyzing mobility patterns. As an application we will present an study on AIS data that describes the locations of vessels traveling in Norwegian seas. We will close the presentation with an overview of the kind of AI techniques we can apply to analyze mobility patterns.
