MATSim

Agent-Based Transport Simulations

MATSim provides a toolbox to implement large-scale agent-based transport simulations. The toolbox 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 toolbox 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.
