Agent-Based Approach for Integrated Driver and Traveler Behavior Modeling

The project will develop a theoretical framework for agent-based driver and traveler behavior modeling; evaluate traditional and emerging data collection methods for agent-based modeling and simulation (ABMS) in transportation; evaluate alternative implementation platforms for ABMS applications in transportation; and  develop an agent-based model of en-route/pre-trip route, departure time, and mode choices toward the integration of travel demand, dynamic network, and traffic simulation models; and apply the model to transportation systems management and capital investment applications.
