Dynamic Assignment in Microsimulations of Pedestrians

CoRR, 2014
A generic method for dynamic assignment used with microsimulation of pedestrian dynamics is introduced. As pedestrians - unlike vehicles - do not move on a network, but on areas they in principle can choose among an infinite number of routes. To apply assignment algorithms one has to select for each OD pair a finite (realistically a small) number of ...

Comparison of models for predicting outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease focusing on microsimulation

International Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2012
Background: Physicians have difficulty to subjectively estimate the cardiovascular risk of their patients. Using an estimate of global cardiovascular risk could be more relevant to guide decisions than using binary representation (presence or absence) of

Microsimulation models on child and adolescent health: a scoping review protocol

BMJ Open
Introduction Microsimulation models are computer-based models, which can be employed to simulate the behaviour of microagents, such as children and adolescents, to understand the potential behavioural and economic effects of health interventions or ...

An Efficient Parallelization of Microscopic Traffic Simulation

Applied Sciences
Large-scale traffic simulations at a microscopic level can mimic the physical reality in great detail so that innovative transport services can be evaluated. However, the simulation times of such scenarios is currently too long to be practical.

A Spatio-Temporal Microsimulation Framework for Charging Impact Analysis of Electric Vehicles in Residential Areas: Sensitivity Analysis and Benefits of Model Complexity

Energies
The increasing share of electric vehicles (EVs) offers many advantages, including a reduced CO2 footprint over the vehicles’ lifetime and improved resource efficiency through the recycling of high-voltage batteries. At the same time, the growing EV share
