Data and ecosystem
Fastmob is designed for trajectory, staypoint, trip, and origin-destination data. The data reference documents bundled dataset loaders. Its public API is informed by the scikit-mobility ecosystem; Fastmob documents its own behavior and performance contracts independently.
Glossary
- Position fix — one timestamped latitude/longitude observation.
- Staypoint — a period spent within a small spatial area.
- Location — a recurring place formed by clustering staypoints.
- Trip leg — movement between two stays.
- OD flow — an aggregate count or value from origin to destination.
- STVD — spatiotemporal visitation distribution.
