Query: Entropic measures of individual mobility patterns   Understanding human mobility from a microscopic point of view may represent a
fundamental breakthrough for the development of a statistical physics for
cognitive systems and it can shed light on the applicability of macroscopic
statistical laws for social systems. Even if the complexity of individual
behaviors prevents a true microscopic approach, the introduction of mesoscopic
models allows the study of the dynamical properties for the non-stationary
states of the considered system. We propose to compute various entropy measures
of the individual mobility patterns obtained from GPS data that record the
movements of private vehicles in the Florence district, in order to point out
new features of human mobility related to the use of time and space and to
define the dynamical properties of a stochastic model that could generate
similar patterns. Moreover, we can relate the predictability properties of
human mobility to the distribution of time passed between two successive trips.
Our analysis suggests the existence of a hierarchical structure in the mobility
patterns which divides the performed activities into three different
categories, according to the time cost, with different information contents. We
show that a Markov process defined by using the individual mobility network is
not able to reproduce this hierarchy, which seems the consequence of different
strategies in the activity choice. Our results could contribute to the
development of governance policies for a sustainable mobility in modern cities.
