Agent-Based Transport Simulations

Agent-Based Transport Simulations

MATSim provides a framework to implement large-scale agent-based transport simulations. The framework consists of severel modules which can be combined or used stand-alone. Modules can be replaced by own implementations to test single aspects of your own work. Currently, MATSim offers a framework for demand-modeling, agent-based mobility-simulation (traffic flow simulation), re-planning, a controler to iteratively run simulations as well as methods to analyze the output generated by the modules.

Key Features of MATSim

Comparison with counting stations

Visualize an agent's position, route, activity locations.

• Fast Dynamic and Agent-Based Traffic Simulation
  Simulate whole days within minutes
• Private and Public Traffic
  Both private cars and transit traffic can be simulated
• Supports Large Scenarios
  MATSim can simulate millions of agents or huge, detailed networks
• Versatile Analyses and Simulation Output
  E.g. compare simulated data to real-world counting stations
• Modular Approach
  Easily extended with your own algorithms
• Interactive Visualizer
  See what each agent is doing during the simulation
• Open Source
  You get the Java Source Code, which runs on all major operating systems
• Active Development
  We add constantly new features and improve current ones
