Context-Aware Displacement Estimation from Mobile Phone Data: A Methodological Framework
Mobile phone location data can estimate disaster-induced population displacement more accurately by classifying users as residents or commuters and adjusting for expected daily movements.

Claims
We present a methodological framework addressing this through three innovations: (1) mobility profile classification distinguishing local residents from commuter types, (2) context-aware between-municipality displacement detection accounting for expected location by user type and day of week, and (3) operational uncertainty bounds derived from baseline coefficient of variation with a disaster adjustment factor.
That pre-disaster mobile data patterns reliably define 'expected' locations for each user type and that the commuter classification correctly separates regular cross-border movement from disaster-induced displacement.
A methodological framework that classifies users into mobility types and uses day-of-week context to detect true between-municipality displacement from mobile data, producing scaled rates with uncertainty bounds.
