The table reports for each dataset: the reference to the journal article/book where the study was published, the type of data (LBSN stands for Location Based Social Networks, CDR for Call Detail Record), the number of individuals (or vehicles in the case of car/taxi data) involved in the data collection, the duration of the data collection (M → months, Y → years, D → days, W → weeks), the minimum and maximum length of spatial displacements, the shape of the probability distribution of displacements with the corresponding parameters, the temporal sampling, the shape of the distribution of waiting times with the corresponding parameters. Power-law (T), indicates a truncated power-law. The table can also be found at http://lauraalessandretti.weebly.com/plosmobilityreview.html.
