About the tool Responsible

MATSim

MATSim
What is it?

MATSim is an open source framework for agent-based transportation simulations, enabling detailed modeling of transportation systems and evaluation of urban mobility policies. By simulating commuter behavior and traffic interactions, MATSim provides a powerful tool for urban planners and designers, helping to forecast and optimize responses to changes in transportation infrastructure and policy. This simulation-based approach helps improve transportation planning, reducing costs and increasing the efficiency of mobility systems.

What problems does it solve?

MATSim addresses challenges in planning complex transportation systems. It offers realistic simulations that allow urban planners to optimize transportation strategies and policies, improving the effectiveness of urban systems and reducing infrastructure risks.

How does the tool work?

Simulates individual travel behavior in large populations. Provides tools for traffic flow analysis and network modeling. Enables scenario testing and strategy evaluation.

Open standards

Primarily developed in Java, it leverages the robustness and versatility of this language. Integrates multiple open-source licenses such as GPL-2.0, AGPL-3.0, and MIT, ensuring flexibility and compliance with open standards. Facilitates interoperability by supporting integration with other transport planning tools. Supports community collaboration and development, promoting an open and accessible ecosystem for transport analysis and simulation.
