Agent-based approaches to simulating long-term location and mobility decisions and short-
term activity and travel decisions of households and individuals are receiving increasing …

This chapter discusses the usefulness of the trend towards microsimulation in urban
transport and land-use modelling for the planning practice. The micro-to-macro dichotomy …

The primary objective of this paper is to" make the case" for adoption of microsimulation
frameworks for development of integrated urban models. Similar to the case of activity-based …

A system for modelling commercial movements has been developed for Calgary in Canada.
The result is a representation that is novel in this context, including a tour-based …

This paper presents an overview of the design and status of a new type of land-use
simulation module integrated into SimMobility, an agent-based microsimulation platform …

There is a large gap between the aggregate, trip-based models used by transportation
planning agencies and the activity-based, microsimulation methods espoused by those at …

Leisure travel holds an important share of the overall amount of travel. However, efforts in
transport planning to model and explain leisure travel have been rather limited for a long …

This report describes the development of a computer simulation model that can be used to
investigate the impact of transport cost changes and various policy instruments on travel and …

While transportation researchers have long recognized that travellers' decisions are
interdependent, actor interdependencies are rarely incorporated in our field. Good reasons …

This paper reports the development of a microsimulation model-building platform and the
implementation, validation, and deployment of an integrated transportation and land use …
