Journal for Geographic Information Science
Agent-based models are able to simulate traffic flows and reveal emergent phenomena which tend to remain hidden in traditional traffic modelling frameworks. Until now Agent-Based Modelling has primarily been employed to simulate bicycle traffic flows at a local level, but hardly ever at a regional level. The present review examines the suitability of available agent-based platforms for modelling bicycle traffic flows at regional level, outlining the requirements for doing this. From a wide range of available tools, we considered GAMA, NetLogo and MATSim for an in-depth evaluation.
Keywords: bicycle traffic flow, agent-based modelling and simulation, agent-based platforms
