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 -

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 -
Multi-level fitting algorithms for population synthesis
(2012)Arbeitsberichte Verkehrs- und RaumplanungAgent-based microsimulation models for land use or transportation simulate the behavior of agents over time, although at different time scales and with different goals. For both kinds of models, the initial step is the definition of agents and their relationships. Synthesizing the population of agents often is the only solution, due to privacy and cost constraints. In this paper, we assume that the model simulates persons grouped into ...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 -

Soziales Verhalten in grossräumigen Evakuierungsereignissen in der Schweiz
(2012)Arbeitsberichte Verkehrs- und RaumplanungEine Hypothesenliste zu menschlichen Verhaltensweisen in grossflächigen Bevölkerungsevakuierungen zu testen war das Anliegen einer länderweiten Bevölkerungsbefragung. Der vorliegende Bericht stellt das Erhebungsinstrument und den Erhebungsablauf detailliert vor. Diese methodischen Aspekte werden begleitet von deskriptiven Informationen zum Antwortverhalten, zur Repräsentativität des Datensatzes und zu den Analyseergebnissen. Zudem werden ...Report -

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 -
Übersicht zu Stated Preference-Studien in der Schweiz und Abschätzung von Gesamtelastizitäten
(2012)Der Bericht beschäftigt sich mit dem Vergleich der Stated Preference (SP)-Befragung 2010 zum Verkehrsverhalten zu den früher durchgeführten Schweizer SP-Studien und gibt Empfehlungen für Gesamtelastizitäten zur Aktualisierung der Energieperspektiven 2050. Die unterschiedlichen Elastizitätsbegriffe werden erklärt und die Untersuchungsmethoden beschrieben.Report
