All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
- Improved facility locations
- OSM tag filtering has been improved to reduce number of wrongly assigned facility types
- Update work location assignment within Berlin
- Work locations now use weighted sampling during location choice
- The weight is based on an attraction factor and zone specific probabilities determined from survey data
- Updated GTFS schedule
- The schedule is now based on the 2024-11-19
- Note that there are major changes how stops and links between them are created
- Stops having the same gtfs parent_id and route types are merged together, allowing agents to find better PT connections
- The PT network is created with loop links (on each PT stop) instead of duplicating stops, which also improves connections
- The Berlin Ringbahn is manually adjusted so that each train drives multiple loops the whole day
- New income calculation
- In previous versions income was used directly as household income from the survey data
- Now, the income is calculated as personal equivalent income, which is the household income divided by equivalent household size
- Corresponding attributes have been added to the population file
- Bike mode updated and recalibrated
- Bike is now routed on the network, which results in more realistic travel distances
- Bikes are not simulated on the network, and no link events generated yet. This will likely be added in future versions.
- The road network includes bike infrastructure and corresponding attributes
- The bike infrastructure is not fully complete yet, and has to be carefully evaluated first for bike centric studies
- The avg. bike speed has been set to match SrV2018 survey data (~10.3 km/h)
- New dashboards
- PT Transit viewer
- Emissions
- Noise
- Include additional trip analysis and updated dashboard
- Mode share is now analyzed by age, income, employment, economic_status
- Updated population, which now include reference modes for certain persons
- The reference modes represent modes that a person has actually used in reality
- Allows to evaluate the quality of the model in terms of mode choice
- ReplanningAnnealer module is now activated by default
- Updated network and gtfs schedule
- Network is now based on late 2022 osm data
- PT schedule is based in mid 2023, earlier data of this feed was not available
- The network conversion now uses a SUMO converter, a microscopic representation of the network will be available as well
- Free speed of the network has been calibrated as described in the paper "Road network free flow speed estimation using microscopic simulation and point-to-point travel times"
- Walking speed increased to match reference data
- Recalibration of mode constants (ASCs)
- Updated commercial traffic, especially the trip duration should be more realistic
- Added a run class for DRT scenarios
- Please note that the 6.3 version is released nearly at the same time
- Because of that 6.2 was not calibrated to the same accuracy
- Rather use the newest version, which also includes all features of 6.2
- Fix ASCs in tbe 6.1 config
- The calibrated ASCs have not been correctly copied to the 6.1 config, this is now fixed.
- All input files remain the same
- The existing output remains the same as well, because this run was using the correct ASC values
-
Trips from survey data are filtered slightly different
- Previously, trips that did not have the flag
E_WEG_GUELTIG
, have been ignored. - However, this flag is not considered in SrV reports, or the Berlin website that reports the modal share.
- To be more consistent with these reports, these trips are now considered as well.
- This leads to slightly different mode shares compared to the previous version.
- Previously, trips that did not have the flag
-
Commercial traffic was updated to include recent changes
- Temporal distribution was updated according to survey data
- Separated car and freight/truck mode
Initial release of the updated MATSim Open Berlin scenario. For more information, see the paper (tba.)
