I was hoping for general rules of thumb in the article.

I had heard, for example, that elderly that escape a care home tend to go right and downhill, and often stay at mass transit stops.

They didn't seem to mention this in the article, but it does seem like AI/ML could be used to examine previous cases and tune the virtual agents mentioned, so that a probability map can be created for the specifics of a new case.
