Adding Public Transport to MATSim (Marcel Rieser)

Large-Scale Application: Zurich: Road Network8

Large-Scale Application: Zurich: Transit Network9

Large-Scale Application: Zurich: Combined Network 10

Simulation Outcome11car users transit users train stops other transit stops

Simulation Outcome: Train Lines Highlighted12car users transit users train stops other transit stops

Simulation Outcome13High share oftransit usersHigh share ofcar userscar users transit users train stops other transit stops

Sensitivity Study14• Zurich has a good rapid-transit railways system• Remove one line (“S7”) from the model• Calculate share of transit users for each municipality• Compare to share of transit users in model with S7 included

Sensitivity Study: Transit Lines15Source: www.zvv.ch

Sensitivity Study: Transit Lines16S7 is the onlytransit line hereS7 does notstop hereSource: www.zvv.chS7 is the onlytransit line here

Sensitivity Study: Outcome17Absolute change in share of transit users per municipality in %

Sensitivity Study: Outcome18Big changewhere S7 wasonly trainbeforeNo changewhere S7 didnot stop beforeBig changewhere S7 wasonly trainbeforeAbsolute change in share of transit users per municipality in %

Outlook19• The transit simulation is also used for Berlin scenario• Transit Router is quite simple (and slow) at the moment,needs more work for future usage• More transit-specific analyses• Improved visualization of transit vehicles and passengers

Outlook: Example20Number of passengers enteringNumber of passengers leavingNumber of passengers in vehicleStop 1Stop 2Stop 3Stop 4Stop 5

Conclusions21• Detailed, large-scale, agent-based simulation of public transit is feasible• Agent-based transit simulation is able to capture small differences intransit accessibility◦more details than simulation models using zones,as also intra-zonal aspects are considered• Agents can improve the mode choice during the simulationcompared to pre-calculated mode choice◦aggregated, averaged values in pre-calculation;simulation can split up averages into single decisions again
