Project Title: Multi-agent micro-simulation for urban systems simulation
Project Description:
To answer what-if questions and support urban decision-makers, we develop large-scale micro-simulations based on transportation science. The simulations are usually a system of systems with intricate models for decisions and interactions. The project involves supporting the continuous development of such simulations using object-oriented programming.
