Regional Transportation Simulations

For transportation planning applications, it is useful to not only model each individual traveler, but also the decisionmaking process leading to her travel demand. Simulation-based modeling of this process means iterations between the actual transportation micro-simulation and the modules simulating the process making the plans. This means that for understanding a single day of travel, it may be necessary to simulate that day hundreds of times for the iteration process, leading to a considerable strain on computational resources.
