How mobility assumptions change epidemic dynamics in a city-scale agent model
Using a synthetic population of one million agents in an urban setting, the study compares five mobility models differing in activity patterns and destination choice. It shows how mobility simplifications affect emergent contact networks and epidemic outcomes.
Why it matters
Quantifies how behavioural assumptions bias the results of a large-scale simulation model.
