Using transportation data to predict pandemics




In a world of increasing global connections, predicting the spread of infectious diseases is more complicated than ever. Using network theory and transportation data, Northwestern University's Dirk Brockmann developed a computational model that can generate with high accuracy the origin of an outbreak and the predicted arrival times of a pandemic in specific locations. His work shows that cities with a very high level of connectedness, such as London, are important epicenters for tracking the sp...
