MATSim provides a toolbox to implement large-scale agent-based transport simulations. The toolbox consists of several modules that 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, mobility-simulation, re-planning, a controler to iteratively run simulations as well as methods to analyze the output generated by the modules.

MATSim is written in Java 1.6. You will need at least the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 or newer to run the examples and the Java Development Kit (JDK) 6 or newer to compile your own code that uses MATSim functionality.
