This master’s thesis investigates the application of anomaly detection techniques to analyze crowdmovements using cell location data, a topic of growing interest in public safety and policymaking. Thisresearch uses machine learning algorithms, specifically Isolation Forest and DBSCAN, to identify unusualmovement patterns within a large, unlabeled dataset. The study addresses the challenges inherent inprocessing and analyzing vast amounts of spatial and temporal data through a comprehensive method-ology that includes data preprocessing, feature engineering, and optimizing algorithm parameters. Thefindings highlight the feasibility of employing anomaly detection in real-world scenarios, demonstratingthe algorithms’ ability to detect anomalies and offering insights into crowd dynamics.
