Abstract: The human mobility networks are vital infrastructure in recent social systems. Many efforts have been made to keep the healthy human mobility flows to maintain sustainable development of recent well-connected society. However, the inter-connectivity sometimes raises unintended diffusion and amplification of the intrinsic risks, which is difficult to forecast because of the complexity of the underlying networks. Therefore, it is believed that modeling and simulation of the risk diffusion in the human mobility networks are suggestive and meaningful. Also, recent improvement of usability of individual-level human mobility data and capabilities of high-performance computing technologies enable us to employ the data-driven approaches. In this paper, the risk diffusion dynamics is modeled based on the SIS epidemic model and the vulnerability index is defined to quantify the node-level easiness of suffering risks. We also conduct the link removal test to find the better risk mitigation methods.
