How does MATSim work?

MATSim simulates the movements of persons (“agents”) and vehicles on a given road and public transport network.

Each agent tries to optimize its own day, but is influenced by the activities and trips of other agents.

With an iterative optimization process, MATSim is able to predict travel behavior in the real world.
