Abstract

Due to dense social contacts, metropolises are considered as epicenters of contagious infectious diseases. Developing models for infection transmission and mitigation in metropolises is a challenging problem because of spatiotemporal variations in their population structures. Employing the fact that intra-urban mobility is mainly shaped by the transportation infrastructure and reflected in the traffic flux information, a novel multi-scale reaction-diffusion process is developed to model infection transmission in a metropolis.
