Advancing agent-based transportation models to better represent active mobility (A06)

• Subject Area: Traffic and Transport Systems, Intelligent and Automated Traffic
• Term: since 2025
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 531327426

Project A6 will focus on improving transportation models to incorporate bicycling and walking more realistically. We will develop a portable process to create feature-rich multimodal networks that include relevant attributes for the active modes. We will incorporate and extend previous work on bicycle routing, utility evaluation, and interaction with motorized transportation into a comprehensive active-mobility modeling suite as an extension of MATSim and a critical component of the AgiMo Digital Twin. We will investigate how the newly developed methods can be adopted to walking, especially in terms of multi-stage trips.
