AM-82 - Microsimulation and calibration of agent activities

You are currently viewing an archived version of Topic Microsimulation and calibration of agent activities. If updates or revisions have been published you can find them at Microsimulation and calibration of agent activities.

Learning Objectives: 
  • Describe a “bottom-up” simulation from an activity-perspective with changes in the locations and/or activities the individual person (and/or vehicle) in space and time, in the activity patterns and space-time trajectories created by these activity patterns, and in the consequent emergent phenomena, such as traffic jams and land-use patterns
  • Describe how various parameters in an agent-based model can be modified to evaluate the range of behaviors possible with a model specification
  • Describe how measurements on the output of a model can be used to describe model behavior
