MOBILITY EMBEDDING FROM CALL DATA RECORD USING WORD2VEC TO SUPPORT NETWORK WITH UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE

Abstract

Call Detail Records (CDRs) are records that provide information about phone conversations and text messages. CDR data has been proved in several studies to give useful information on people's mobility patterns and associations with fine-grained temporal and geographical characteristics. This paper proposes to embed the traces recorded in the CDRs to extract meaningful information. These latter provide insights about the location that may need support to cover or recover the network. After embedding the users' trajectories step, we use the embedding results to recommend the antennas with coordinates and support demand needed to a fleet of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. Finally, we ended up with a capacitated vehicle routing problem that we solved using a Google open-source software named OR-Tools.
