July 2022: Aleksey Ogulenko and Itzhak Benenson (TAU) and Marina Toger, John Osth and Alexey Siretskiy (Uppsala University, Sweden) have published a paper The fallacy of the closest antenna: Towards an adequate view of device location in the mobile network (CEUS, v95). We demonstrate that the area of a possible mobile phone location is many times larger than the area of the cell tower's Voronoi polygon. To comprise 90% of the mobile phone possible locations, one has to consider the tower's Voronoi polygon together with the two adjacent rings of these polygons, see https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compenvurbsys.2022.101826

Geosimulation and Spatial Analysis Lab

Based on high-resolution GIS and big data on human and institutions’ spatial behavior, we model the complex geographic system as collectives of decision-makers who define system’s spatio-temporal dynamics and evolve themselves.
