Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of microsimulation concepts and methods that can be used in travel-related forecasting applications. Microsimulation is first defined, and then reasons are discussed as to why microsimulation may prove useful or even necessary for at least some types of activity-based travel forecasting. Important concepts of objects, agents, and cellular automata, which represent fundamental organizing constructs in a modern microsimulation model, are described. The synthesizing and updating of the attributes of the population or sample of individuals whose behavior is being simulated are then discussed. Some major issues associated with the development and application of operational microsimulation methods are detailed, and representative examples of transportation-related microsimulation applications are provided. Lastly, several microsimulation models drawn from a range of applications, including activity-based travel forecasting, are presented.
