We analyse the urban mobility in the cities of Medellín and Manizales (Colombia). Each city is represented by six mobility networks, each one encoding the origin-destination trips performed by a subset of the population corresponding to a particular socio-economic status. The nodes of each network are the different urban locations whereas links account for the existence of a trip between two different areas of the city. We study the main structural properties of these mobility networks by focusing on their spatio-temporal patterns. Our goal is to relate these patterns with the partition into six socio-economic compartments of these two societies. Our results show that spatial and temporal patterns vary across these socio-economic groups. In particular, the two datasets show that as wealth increases the early-morning activity is delayed, the midday peak becomes smoother and the spatial distribution of trips becomes more localized.

Medellin Origin-destination survey (dated back to 2005-2006). Data gathered by Universidad Nacional de Colombia for Area Metropolitana del Valle de Aburrá (cite as: AREA Metropolitana del Valle de Aburrá 2006. Chapter 2: Diagnóstico.

Column description: ORIG describes the id of the origin zone of the trip (from 1 to 413). DEST the id of the destination zone (from 1 to 413). EST indicates the "estrato" or socioeconomic class/status of the household of the traveler (1 the lowest income householders and 6 the richest). HSAL indicates the departure hour (decimal) of the trip, HLLEG the arrival hour (decimal) of the trip, MOT indicates the purpose of trip (1 work, 2 study, 3 shopping, 4 health, 5 recreation, 6 return home, 7 others), HMV describes the mean hour of trip, FEV is the expansion factor of the survey.
