Using MATSim ExtensionsIntroductionThe default MATSim releases contain all the functionality typically used to model agent behavior and simulate traffic. But sometimes, thisjust is not enough. The MATSim Extensions provide additional functionality for specific tasks, and can be used along MATSim. MATSimExtensions [/extensions] gives an overview of the currently available extensions. Please note that these extensions are usually provided andmaintained by single persons from the community, and thus long-term support may vary from the default MATSim release.Downloading ExtensionsAll extensions come as a compressed zip-file. You can either download the last stable release of an extension to be used together with thestable release of MATSim, or you can download a so-called "nightly build"—an automatically created, but untested and probably unstableversion of the extension.You can download the stable releases of extensions from SourceForge [http://sourceforge.net/projects/matsim/files/MATSim/].Likely unstable nightly builds can be downloaded from our nightly builds directory [http://matsim.org/files/builds/].Make sure to also download MATSim itself. The extensions cannot be used without MATSim.Using Extensions on the Command LineOnce you've downloaded an extension and MATSim, unzip the extension and place the extension's directory inside the MATSim directory,next to the libs directory. The file/directory structure should look similar to the following example:matsim/+ MATSim.jar+ libs/| + + extension1/| + extension1.jar+extension2/| + extension2.jar| + libs/
