Global population dataset uses buildings to reveal people's daily movement patterns
Researchers at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have released LandScan Mosaic, a next-generation global population distribution dataset that estimates where people are by modeling how buildings are used and occupied throughout the day. Built on the foundation of ORNL's widely used LandScan Global, one of the world's most accurate population distribution datasets, Mosaic's enhancements will improve disaster re…
LandScan Mosaic therefore distributes the population on a fine-meshed worldwide grid based on building type, floor number and typical occupancy and provides a measure of their uncertainty for each estimate. This should make decisions on disasters, infrastructure planning and humanitarian aid more resilient. Oak Ridge (U.S.A.). High-resolution [...] The article Building data shows where people are in the course of the day appeared first on scanxx
