Abstract
Presently there is a shift in assessing infrastructure investment decisions in developing regions. Whilst in the past, transport and mobility-related metrics that have worked for developed regions have been used in developing countries, this practice is now changing. Some transport researchers have started to consider inclusive metrics outside of the normal metrics that do not account for issues such as economic inequality among citizens and citizen individual mobility behaviors in developing urban regions which may be very different from that of developed regions. In this same spirit, an agent-based microsimulation framework, MATSim has been applied hereto build a baseline scenario for Lagos, Nigeria. At the initial stageis a model using only a population derived froma household travel survey, which serves as a starting point to a full-scale scenario for the whole of Lagos pending access to more data
