Urban Mobility 
Urban mobility is a multi-dimensional characteristic of cities experienced as layers of interconnected infrastructures, places, people and information. Therefore, the study of networks such as power and transportation systems should go beyond an individual network and merge with other networks. This resaerch presents a timely approach to characterize the causal dependency between flows of electricity and transportation networks.
