Mobility and Contact Networks Shape Epidemic Outcomes: A Large-Scale Agent-Based Modeling Study

Announce Type: new Abstract: Human mobility plays a central role in shaping contact patterns that drive infectious disease transmission, yet mobility is often simplified in agent-based models (ABMs) due to data and computational constraints. The effects of these simplifications on model outputs are poorly understood. In this study, we systematically examined how alternative mobility assumptions influence emergent contact networks and epidemic dynamics within a large-scale ABM.
