METROPOLIS2
METROPOLIS2 is an agent-based transport simulator.
Its main features are:
- 🚘 Mode choice (with an arbitrary number of modes, road vehicles are explicitly modeled)
- ⏱️ Continuous-time departure-time choice
- 🛣️ Deterministic route choice (for road vehicles)
- 👫 Agent based (each agent is an autonomous entity with its own characteristics and choices)
- 🚦 Modeling of road congestion (using speed-density functions and bottlenecks)
- ⏸️ Intermediary stops (with schedule preferences and stopping time at each intermediary point)
METROPOLIS2 is composed of
Metropolis-Core: a command line tool to run the transport simulations, written in Rust 🚀Pymetropolis: a command line tool to interact with METROPOLIS2’s input and output data, written in Python 🐍
What is this book?
This is the official documentation of METROPOLIS2, intended for anyone wanting to learn how to use the simulator and how it works.
It is divided in 2 parts: Pymetropolis (chapters 1 to 4) and Metropolis-Core (chapters 5 to 9).
