In the report,Associate Professor Tao ran deeply discussed the spatiotemporal analysis method of geographic flow big data,including the new method of geographic flow spatial measurement, geographic flow exploratory spatial analysis method and spatial interaction model.These research results not only improve the application level of geographic flow big data,but also provide a new analytical perspective for the core research of spatial interaction,spatial-temporal data mining and human mobility in geographic information science.
Associate Professor Tao ran also showed the research results of Tao ran's team in transportation,tourism and population migration based on specific examples.These results demonstrate the great potential and application value of geographic flow big data in solving practical problems,and provide participants with valuable experience and inspiration.

The academic report not only provided a platform for participants to understand the latest progress in the research and application of big data of geographic flow,but also promoted academic exchanges and cooperation in the field of geographic information science.Associate Professor Tao ran's wonderful speech won the high praise and warm applause from the participants.
As one of the important research directions in the field of geographic information science,the spatiotemporal analysis and application of geographic flow big data will continue to receive wide attention.We look forward to having more experts and scholars to devote themselves to the research and practice in this field in the future,and jointly promote the development and progress of geographic information science.
