Abstract
This paper explores the possibility of integrating an operational activity based model with the dynamic modeling framework. For this purpose, the Tel Aviv activity-based model and the MATSim agent-based model are used, in an attempt to use the best features of both models: on one side, the disaggregate demand representation from the activity-based model, and on the other side, the disaggregate supply representation from the agent-based model.
The paper uses the person activity schedule produced by the activity based model directly, thus eliminating the need to use Origin-Destination matrices. The paper compares results produced by MATSim with the original static assignment of the Tel Aviv model that shows a very good fit at the aggregate level. The purpose of the paper is to further advance the full disaggregate implementation of activity-based models. In this aspect, this paper represents a first step towards this goal.
