Exploring Spatial Insights into Human Mobility & Urban Dynamics
XMo: Human Mobility & Urban Analytics Research
We redefine mobility by applying Geographic Information Science (GIScience) to analyze how the affordance of space combines with human perception and preference to shape mobility patterns.
The Triangle of XMo
Our triangle symbolizes the synergy between GIScience, Data-driven Analytics, and Human Mobility Behavior. It serves as a basis for understanding complex spatial dynamics and their impact on mobility.

Our Mobility Oracle
The Mobility Oracle represents a groundbreaking approach to understanding urban mobility. Developed by the XMo Lab, this framework allows researchers to simulate and analyze human movement patterns with precision. By leveraging this tool, we can explore various urban scenarios and predict the impact of potential changes on city-wide mobility. The Oracle is composed of four adaptable components, each tailored to address specific research questions or hypothetical situations.
Explore Our Research Nodes
The research nodes showcase how methods and algorithms developed in the XMo Lab have been applied across a wide range of projects. They demonstrate the transferability of our research, from analyzing human mobility behavior and designing policy support tools to exploring how people perceive, navigate, and interact with their environment. Each node reflects a distinct line of inquiry that contributes to a broader understanding of human-centered mobility systems and supports evidence-based decision-making for sustainable and inclusive urban futures.
