Social network contacts have significant influence on individual travel behavior. However,
transport models rarely consider social interaction. One of the reasons is the difficulty to …

Joint social activities, in particular those outside households, are currently ignored or
modeled very simply in transport models, despite these sorts of activities contributing to a …

Agent-based modeling in transportation problems requires detailed information on each of
the agents that represent the population in the region of a study. To extend the agent-based …

This paper develops an agent-based discrete-event simulation (AB-DES) modelling
framework for transportation evacuation by integrating an event scheduling scheme into an …

This paper presents an agent-based discrete-event simulation (AB-DES) modeling
approach for transportation evacuation simulation based on a hybrid continuous and cell …

We introduce complex network analysis and use a commercial vehicle's observed trip as a
proxy for a business relation between two facilities in its activity chain. We extract facility …

CONTEXT: Models of how people move around cities play a role in making decisions about
urban and land-use planning. Previous models have been based on space and time, and …

This article introduces a microsimulation of urban traffic flows within a large-scale scenario
implemented for the Greater Dublin region in Ireland. Traditionally, the data available for …

Due to the current interest in predicting social activities and the changing nature of social
activities due to our use of ICT, this type of model is of increasing importance to planners …

This paper introduces a novel network demand estimation framework consistent with the
input data structure requirements of Multi-Agent Transport Simulation (MATSim). The …
