MATSim

A toolkit for building multi-agent transport simulations.

MATSim provides a toolbox to implement large-scale agent-based transport simulations. The toolbox consists of severel modules which can be combined or used stand-alone. Modules can be replaced by own implementations to test single aspects of your own work. Currently, MATSim offers a toolbox for demand-modeling, agent-based mobility-simulation (traffic flow simulation), re-planning, a controller to iteratively run simulations as well as methods to analyze the output generated by the modules.

  • Fast Dynamic and Agent-Based Traffic Simulation
    Simulate whole days within minutes
  • Private and Public Traffic
    Both private cars and transit traffic can be simulated
  • Supports Large Scenarios
    MATSim can simulate millions of agents or huge, detailed networks
  • Versatile Analyses and Simulation Output
    E.g. compare simulated data to real-world counting stations
  • Modular Approach
    Easily extended with your own algorithms
  • Interactive Visualizer
    See what each agent is doing during the simulation
  • Open Source
    You get the Java Source Code, which runs on all major operating systems
  • Active Development
    New features are constantly being added and current ones are improved
