Design and Analysis of a MATSim Scenario From Open Data: The Messina City Use Case
研究利用开放数据为墨西拿市构建MATSim多智能体交通仿真工具，帮助交通管理者评估出行策略，并提出了评估自行车道安全性的指标。
In the last years, our cities become more and more crowded due to the increasing number of cars into old city planes. So, even small/medium cities experience a travel time comparable with the bigger ones. To improve mobility management in modern cities, specific simulation tools can be used to analyze the impact of different mobility plans on mobility and, therefore to find the most suitable solution for each city. However, these tools are often hard to be used by city traffic managers without advanced computer skills. In this article, we used a multiagent transport simulation (MATSim) to provide a simple tool that can be easily used by end-users to better plan mobility strategies for both private and public transportation. In particular, starting from the open data provided by the city of Messina, we have implemented a software tool able to process MATSim events. Moreover, we propose a metric to estimate the safety of roads for cyclists. From the experimental results provided by the proposed software, we are able to discover the most overloaded links and estimate the travel time distribution by hour of departure time.
