Agent-based microsimulation of urban activity and travel

微观模拟涉及在个体代理一级对旅行行为进行动态建模。 微观模拟方法提供了一个理想的框架，利用强大的解释能力的非集计行为模型，并提供增强的政策敏感性。 基于活动的旅行需求模式确认，正是参与活动的需要推动了旅行需求。 多伦多大学在过去几年中在开发基于业务活动的家庭旅行行为微观模拟模型（TASHA -家庭代理旅行/活动模拟）方面取得了相当大的进展。 拟议的项目旨在加强和扩大这项工作。 该项目的具体目标是：

Microsimulation involves the dynamic modelling of travel behaviour at the level of individual agents. Microsimulation methods provide an ideal framework to exploit the strong explanatory power of disaggregate behavioural models and provide enhanced policy sensitivity. Activity-based travel demand modelling recognizes that it is the need to participate in activities which drives the demand for travel. Considerable progress has been made at the University of Toronto over the past several years towards the development of an operational activity-based microsimulation model of household travel behaviour (TASHA - Travel/Activity Scheduler for Household Agents). The proposed project is designed to build upon and extend this work. Specific objectives of the project are:
