abstract = "Topological analysis and community detection in mobility complex
networks have an essential role in many contexts, from economics
to the environmental agenda. However, in many cases, the dynamic
component of mobility data is not considered directly. In this
paper, we study how topological indexes and community structure
changes in a business day. For the analyzes, we use a mobility
database with a high temporal resolution. Our case study is the
city of S{\~a}o Jos{\'e} dos Campos (Brazil)-The city is divided
into 55 traffic zones. More than 20 thousand people were asked
about their travels the day before the survey (Origin-Destination
Survey). We generated a set of graphs, where each vertex
represents a traffic zone, and the edges are weighted by the
number of trips between them, restricted to a time window. We
calculated topological properties, such as degree, clustering
coefficient and diameter, and the network s community structure.
The results show spatially concise community structures related to
geographical factors such as highways and the persistence of some
communities for different timestamps. These analyses may support
the definition and adjustment of public policies to improve urban
mobility. For instance, the community structure of the network
might be useful for defining inter-zone public transportation.",
