Abstract
A method of estimating flows of persons gathering at an Area of Interest for attending a public happening during a time interval on a day includes defining a plurality of calculated radius values of the Area of interest radius, and, for each calculated radius value: identifying a number of relevant served areas; identifying a first number of user equipment; identifying a second number of user equipment associated; computing a normalized statistical quantity by normalizing the statistical quantity with respect to the radii of the relevant served areas; computing an optimum radius value of the Area of Interest radius; identifying persons gathering for attending the public happening; computing at least one matrix accounting for movements of persons.
