One-to-Many Simulator Interface with Virtual Test Bed for Equitable Tech Transfer

After five years of R&D, researchers have developed a number of independent simulation tools to evaluate different algorithms. A broad API will be developed to handle interfacing any simulation with a multi-agent demand simulator. This will be tested on the existing MATSim-NYC (which will be enhanced to include freight and parcel delivery activities) and a BEAM implementation, BEAM-NYC, for three use cases in electric transit, freight, and traffic, considering equity impacts on different population segments (by income level, ability, and age). The team will jointly conduct case studies in NYC and Seattle, enabling deeper insights of evaluated cases and promote tech transfer and collaboration to broader communities (including agencies, the industry, and the public).
