MATSim agent heterogeneity and a one-week scenario
(2012)Arbeitsberichte Verkehrs- und RaumplanungThis report describes two MATSim extensions: inclusion of individual values of time and money and a week-long simulation period. Speeding-up week-long simulation, mechanisms for warm-starting the simulation combined with an explicit termination criterion are implemented. The extensions are applied in project Surprice to investigate equity effects with time-varying preferences in a road pricing context. First experiments’ results are ...Working Paper -
Coupling customers’ destination choice and retailers’ location choice in MATSim
(2012)Arbeitsberichte Verkehrs- und RaumplanungThe multi-agent transport simulation MATSim (MATSim, 2012) contains modules for cus- tomers’ destination choice (Horni et al., 2012) and retailers’ location choice (Ciari and Axhausen, 2011; Horni and Ciari, 2009, 2011). This paper’s goal is combining these two models into a dynamic and micro-simulated demand-supply model for shopping activities. Both models are methodologically improved by analyzing retailer clustering and its effects ...Working Paper -

Modeling long term investment decisions in housing and transportation
(2012)Arbeitsberichte Verkehrs- und RaumplanungThis paper for the first time addresses trade-offs between long-term energy efficiency investments in two major areas: housing and transport, e.g., retrofitting the house versus purchasing a more efficient car. The main question is whether homeowners treat their energy consumption and related expenses as one single budget or as two separate ones. A survey of homeowners (owner-occupiers) was conducted to study this issue. It comprised ...Working Paper -
Efficiency of choice set generation methods for bicycle routes
(2012)Arbeitsberichte Verkehrs- und RaumplanungThe current study analyses the efficiency of choice set generation methods for bicycle routes and proposes the extension of cost functions to bicycle-oriented factors not limited to distance and time. Three choice set generation methods for route choice were examined in their ability to generate relevant and heterogeneous routes: doubly stochastic generation function, breadth first search on link elimination, and branch & bound algorithm. ...Working Paper -
Soziales Verhalten in grossräumigen Evakuierungsereignissen
(2012)Arbeitsberichte Verkehrs- und RaumplanungDie im Zuge einer Literaturrecherche gewonnenen Erkenntnisse über das Verhalten einer evakuierenden Menschenmenge sollen durch leitfadengestützte Experteninterviews vertieft und, wo nötig, korrigiert werden. Ziel der angestrebten Triangulation von Literaturrecherche und Experteninterviews ist eine umfassende Hypothesenliste zu menschlichen Verhaltensweisen in grossen Evakuierungsereignissen. Der vorliegende Bericht führt in die Methode ...Report -
Modeling location decisions of retailers with an agent-based approach
(2012)Arbeitsberichte Verkehrs- und RaumplanungThe paper reports about a project, where an agent-based module of location decisions of retailers has been implemented into the agent-based traffic simulator MATSim-T. The retailer module focuses on the retailers’ location choice. Retailers are modeled as agents in the simulation and are allowed to relocate their stores, according to a given strategy, in order to maximize the number of their customers. The paper discusses first the ...Working Paper
