With the aim of building realistic model of social systems, designers of agent-based models
tend to incorporate more and more data and this data is of course having an impact on their …

Agent-based micro-simulation models require a complete list of agents with detailed
demographic/socioeconomic information for the purpose of behavior modeling and …

Population increases and related urban expansion are projected to occur in various parts of
the world over the coming decades. These future changes to the urban fabric could …

Toward the objective of building realistic social models, modelers often need to use a lot of
data about the target system. This descriptive perspective will often encourage models to …

Agent-based models (ABMs) of urban systems have grown in popularity and complexity due
to the widespread availability of high-performance computing resources and large data …

Synthetic population is a key input to agent-based urban/transportation microsimulation
models. The objective of population synthesis is to reproduce the underlying statistical …

Synthetic population is used in many transport models ranging from trip-based, hybrid trip,
tour-based, and activity-based models. As mobility decisions depend on both individuals' …

In this paper, we develop a synthetic population as the first step in implementing an
integrated land use/transport model. The model is agent-based, where every household …

Microsimulation models that simulate travel demand at the level of individual travelers have
been gaining increasing interest among practitioners. Transportation planning agencies …

Population synthesis is concerned with the generation of agents for agent-based modelling
in many fields, such as economics, transportation, ecology and epidemiology. When the …
