3. 3 State of MATSIM-T Competition for slots on networks Routes & Times re-scheduling k(t,r,j) i,n q i ≡ (t,r,j) i,n complete Knowledge Day-by-Day learning / optimization

4. 4 Robustness of Current State of MATSIM-T Robustness (times & routes) Input Validation / Input Definition Init Demand Fusion & Validation? “global” Parameters Configuration?  Documentation? Parameters? U-Function (correctness?, definition gaps?)  Java vs. C++? Re-Planning Module(s) (Needs?, Target?, Use?) Modules, Algorithms, “Units” Sharing Code  Robustness vs. Speed Microsimulation (SQSim?, DQSim?, DEQSim?, Strippgen?) Output Validation (Standardizations?)  Controler helps  Equilibrium / Steady-State / “Ruhepunkt” /...  Test Cases  Releases  Jar file  Sourceforge  “Final” current State of MATSIM-T

5. 5 Next? (1) Households Addition to the Data-Structure / Input Definition Simple (no change of Functionality) Person & Household Parameters Addition to the Data-Structure U-Function / Interface better chains (init Demand Modelling) Validation, etc...

6. 6 Next? (2) Location Choice Init Demand Modelling Model (social network model?) Init Social Network? Respect Constraints U-Function extension Location Costs?  Parameters? planomat extension travel time estimation (travel time surface,...?) Appropriate Information from the micro simulation

7. 7 Next? (3) Public Transport (static, not simulated)  mode choice Input Data Definition Re-Planning Module (or into planomat) Household Car Sharing? U-Function Extension PT Costs?  Parameters? Probably no mode change... Public Transport (micro simulation extension)  mode choice PT Network / Network Extension Multi Mode Micro Simulation Mode Change?  Model Cars planomat extension U-Function Extension PT Costs?  Parameters? Pedestrian?

8. 8 Next? (4) Road Pricing (static) Input Data Definition U-Function Extension Toll Costs?  Parameters? Road Pricing (dynamic) Input Data (Road Pricing Agent Definiton) “Road Toll Agents”, “Cordon Agents”, etc... “Road Pricing Replanning Module” “Road Pricing U-Function” Simulate “Road Pricing Agents” in Micro Sim ITS (in general) ITS Agents vs. “fixed” TS ?

9. 9 Next? (5) Parking (competition) Input Data Definition U-Function Extension Parking Costs?  Parameters? Parking (Parking Search) Input Data Definition Extension of the micro simulation U-Function Extension Parking & Parking Search Costs?  Parameters? How does Re-Planning Modules react / re-plan?

10. 10 Next? (6) Social Networks & Mental Maps Representations? Initializations? As part of Re-Planning (i.e. Location Choice)? Social Net Re-Planning? Memory Management?  Within-Day Re-Planning “On the Fly” information exchange between Micro-Simulation and Re-Planning Modules  “Real Learning” (instead of Optimization)  Scenario Size / Speed  Memory Management

11. 11 Next? (7) Agenda Generation & Act-Chain-Choice (& Social Networks) Representation, Data Definition planomat extension U-Function extension,...

12. 12 Commercialization Development vs. Interfaces Conversions vs. Data-Exchange with third party products Documentation for Developers and/or Users Releases User Interface vs. Config file Analysis Visualization

13. 13 General Questions Mental Representation Incomplete Knowledge vs. Global Knowledge Feedback Learning vs. Optimization  Within-Day vs. Day-by-Day Micro-Simulation Specification Particle vs. Agents
