Modélisation, simulation et analyse d'environnements urbains peuplés Approche multi-agent pour l'étude des déplacements multimodaux

In this paper, we propose a novel multiscale approach to model Virtual Urban Environments thanks to the introduction of a design pattern which links activity places and transportation networks. This environment is also augmented with a synthetic population in order to build the Populated Urban Environment. The meso-simulator TransNetSim has been developed and coupled with the micro-simulator Vissim to benefit from the model capabilities. We used SOLAP tools to carry out the analysis of the simulations’ results in a simple and efficient manner for Quebec city.
