If we want to understand how perturbations spread across a multi-modal public transportation system, we have to include passenger flows into the model and the analysis. Indeed, in general no two different lines in such a system are physically connected directly, or share tracks or other resources. Rather, they are connected by passengers changing lines and thus transmit perturbations from one l...

Researches and experiments in the field of transportation studies have proved that an effective and robust urban transportation system can favour sustainable urban development and optimisation of transportation facilities. Modelling urban transportation information is an engineering and research issue that has attracted the design of many conceptual and logical data models. However, the applica...

We examine a way to extend routing using transfer patterns – a state of the art route planning approach for fast routing in public transportation networks – to a multi-modal scenario that allows using public transport, cars, and walking. We specifically examine how to precompute transfer patterns for multi-criteria, multi-modal route planning. When done naively with a Pareto cost model, this le...

Deterministic planning is the de facto standard in deployed multi-modal journey planning systems. However, in reality, transportation networks feature many types of uncertainty, including variations of the arrival and the departure times of public transport vehicles. Under uncertainty, deterministic plans could result in missed connections, leading to an arrival time much worse than originally ...

AgentPolis is a fully agent-based platform for modeling multi-modal transportation systems. It comprises a highperformance discrete-event simulation core, a cohesive set of high-level abstractions for building extensible agent-based models and a library of predefined components frequently used in transportation and mobility models.
