TAPAS
summary
An open source agent based demand model generates address level daily activity chains and feeds them into SUMO for microscopic routing and traffic assignment, using a synthesizer to create households and vehicles and extra commercial traffic. A Berlin study runs about 3.5 million agents with billions of potential routes collapsed by task grouping to avoid 4.5 trillion routings. Iterative feedback produces stable travel times with equilibrium after three iterations and median deviation near zero. Example uses include public transport pricing, demand responsive transport and city scale air quality measures.
