Capability of MatSIM to simulate multi-modal behaviour

Hi MatSIM friends,

I met with Professor Kai here in Uni of Sydney. I sent him an email regarding my requests and interest to use MatSIM in my research project. Still waiting for his reply. By this time, if anyone can assist me here, I would highly appreciate that.

I would like to explore the capability of MatSIM to simulate the multimodal travel behaviour activities. I would highly appreciate if you could please let me know some examples which I can explore to understand the capability. I would also appreciate if you could please forward me some tutorials, training materials or related research papers on MatSIM.

Thanks in advance and much appreciate that.

Regards Soumen

One answer might be to have a look at the matsim user guide http://matsim.org/docs/userguide/ and there at sections 4.6 and 11.1 . That would refer to version 0.9.x of MATSim; I will update the user guide in spring/summer 2018 to version 0.10.x together with the teaching of our MATSim class.

Our work on autonomous vehicles is best documented by publications; see the work of Maciejewski and Bischoff http://www.vsp.tu-berlin.de/publications/vspwp . The group of Kay Axhausen has also done research in this direction, see http://www.ivt.ethz.ch/institut/vpl/publikationen/papers.html . If you are specifically interested in AV simulations, I would recommend to ask that question more specifically, and people might point you to resources.

Dear Professor Kai....Do you have any plan to run MATSim training in 2018...I saw there is a User group meeting in June...but I believe this is not for training.....Much appreciate your reply. Kind regards Soumen
