Lesson 41

• Looking closer at the input elements

• Learn how the initial demand was created for Switzerland

• Create a single agent using MATSim tools (the API)

• Creating a synthetic scenario for Switzerland• plans• network• facilities

Switzerland2

The Zurich Scenario3

• 1.3 Mio agents• Planning network• Motorized individual

transport & pt simulation

4

A New Bypass Around Zurich

• Assessment of accompanying measures (traffic signals etc.)

=> Creation of Switzerland scenario -> cutting out Zurich scenario

Why Do I Show You This?5

• Population and initial demand generation• very important component• very time intensive• similar procedures for different study regions• get a feeling of what is needed

The Network6

• Planning networks and navigation networks • OpenStreetMap• Cleaning tools: org.matsim.core.network.algorithms.*

The Population7

Swiss census of population (total population survey ~7.5 Mio.)•Socio-demographics•Home (hectare) and work location (municipality)

•or ... population synthesizers if you only have the marginal distributions

The Travel Demand8

• Swiss national travel survey (sample n = 30’000)• Complete day chains

• Activities, durations, modes, …

Population + travel demand = MATSim plans

The Activity Locations (Facilities)9

• Swiss Business census => work, shop, leisure, education activities

• Swiss census (or any dwelling register) => home locations• Manual data collection: opening hours

• can be specified individually in the facilities file
