Title: Modeling daily flow patterns individuals to characterize disease spread

Conference ·
OSTI ID:976453

The effect of an individual's travels throughout a day on the spread of disease is examined using a deterministic SIR model. We determine which spatial and demographic characteristics most contribute to the disease spread and whether the progression of the disease can be slowed by appropriate vaccination of people belonging to a specific location-type.
