MacroSim
(2016)Arbeitsberichte Verkehrs- und RaumplanungThe simulation of large-scale scenarios requires high-performance simulations. MATSim, an agent-based transport simulation, is increasingly reaching limits. The traditional approach is to scale the scenarios, i.e. simulating only 10% of a population instead of 100%. This paper suggests MacroSim, a macroscopic mobility simulation module for MATSim, to overcome the current performance limits within MATSim. It uses volume-delay functions to ...Working Paper -
Public transit route mapping for large-scale multimodal networks
(2016)Arbeitsberichte Verkehrs- und RaumplanungThis paper reports an implementation of a public transit route mapping algorithm for large-scale networks. The algorithm, originally proposed by Li (2012), identifies the network path of a public transit route based on the route’s stop sequence. This mapping of the routes onto networks is required to simulate mixed traffic in transport simulations and thus to observe and study, for example, the interaction effects between public transit ...Working Paper -

Implementation of vehicle relocation for carsharing services in the multi-agent transport simulation MATSim
(2016)Arbeitsberichte Verkehrs- und RaumplanungOperators of free-floating carsharing systems typically encounter the problem of imbalances in their vehicle fleets, caused by demand fluctuations over the course of one day, or from one day to the following. In order to provide a high level of accessibility to their service with a minimum number of vehicles, they must consider relocating unused vehicles. While some strategies to accomplish this have been successfully implemented, both ...Working Paper -
Measuring the travel behaviour impact of free-floating car-sharing
(2016)Arbeitsberichte Verkehrs- und RaumplanungFree-floating car-sharing schemes operate without fixed car-sharing stations, ahead reservations or return-trip requirements. Providing fast and convenient motorization, they attract both public transport users and (former) car-owners. Thus, its impact on individual travel behavior depends on the user type. Estimating the travel behavior impact of these novel systems therefore requires quantitative data. Using a two-wave survey approach ...Working Paper -
Entwicklung konsistenter Szenarien für die Einführung autonomer Fahrzeuge
(2016)Arbeitsberichte Verkehrs- und RaumplanungDie unmittelbaren Vorteile der Einführung vollautonomer Fahrzeuge sind bereits heute sehr gut absehbar. So werden lange Reisen und Pendeln angenehmer und die Sicherheit auf Schweizerischen Strassen wird nicht mehr durch menschliches Versagen beeinträchtigt. Zudem wird der Führerschein keine Voraussetzung mehr für individuelle, günstige und komfortable Transportangebote darstellen. Nichtsdestotrotz bestehen erhebliche Unsicherheiten über ...Working Paper -

Analyse und Modellierung des Mobility-Pilotprojekts zu free-floating Car-Sharing
(2016)Arbeitsberichte Verkehrs- und RaumplanungIm August 2014 hat Mobility in Basel ein Pilotprojekt zu free-floating Car-Sharing unter dem Namen Catch a Car lanciert. In einer wissenschaftlichen Begleitstudie wurden die Auswirkungen von free-floating Carsharing auf das Verkehrssystem untersucht. Die Ergebnisse erlauben einen Einblick in die Kundengruppen, Nutzungsarten und verkehrlichen Wirkungen von Catch a Car.Working Paper -
Tracking a system of shared autonomous vehicles across the Austin, Texas network using agent-based simulation
(2016)Arbeitsberichte Verkehrs- und RaumplanungThis study provides a large-scale micro-simulation of transportation patterns in a metropolitan area when relying on a system of shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs). The six-county region of Austin, Texas is used for its land development patterns, demographics, networks, and trip tables. The agent-based MATSim toolkit allows modelers to track individual travelers and individual vehicles, with great temporal and spatial detail. MATSim’s ...Working Paper
