Traffic emissions are a complex and variable cocktail of toxic chemicals. They are the major
source of atmospheric pollution in the parts of cities where people live, commute and work …

This paper is concerned with the representation of building users in simulation applications
that explore buildings' energy and indoor environmental performance. In recent years, efforts …

Agent-Based Models (ABMs) have been adopted to simulate very different kinds of complex
systems, from biological systems to complex coupled human-natural systems. In particular …

Constructing agent data with detailed information on their sociodemographics is
substantially important for agent-based modelling. However, to collect data about the whole …

Agent based modelling has been widely accepted as a promising tool for urban planning
purposes thanks to its capability to provide sophisticated insights into the social behaviours …

Abstract The Population Census is an important source of statistical information in most
countries that is capable of producing reliable estimates of population characteristics for …

Traffic and transportation became one of the most vivid application areas for multiagent and
agent technology. Traffic and transportation systems are not only spatially distributed, but …

For patients suffering from a stroke, the time until the start of the treatment is a crucial factor
with respect to the recovery from this condition. In rural regions, transporting the patient to an …

Synthetic populations are heavily used in agent-based simulations and microsimulations to
create realistic representations of real-world populations. Many existing techniques rely on …

Activity based travel demand modelling requires microdata of population at household and
person level as a key input. Unfortunately due to privacy constraints, such data is often not …
