Re: [sumo-user] Question about synthetic population and household level trips
|
Dear Charitha,
activitygen cannot be extended easily with additional parameters. You would have to change the source code available at Github and compile SUMO yourself. Actually SUMO does not focus on mobility demand modeling but rather on executing the resulting traffic in a network. In contrast TAPAS as an example for mobility demand models integrates many sociodemographic statistics to draw a population from.
Best regards

Betreff: [sumo-user] Question about synthetic population and household level trips
Datum: 2023-10-20T16:40:26+0200

Dear all,
From the documentation, SUMO parameterizes a synthetic population based on the following information. Can you advise me on what I should do if I want to add another parameter that describes the synthetic population? For example, say I want to add household income as another parameter and make a condition that says higher-income households are more likely to use cars.
<city> <general inhabitants="1000" households="500" childrenAgeLimit="18" retirementAgeLimit="65" carRate="0.58" unemploymentRate="0.05" footDistanceLimit="350" incomingTraffic="200" outgoingTraffic="50" /> </city>
Secondly, is it correct to say that SUMO models mobility demand at the individual level and not at the household level? If that is the case, do you have a suggestion on how we can aggregate the mobility demand at the household level, taking into account some known statistics about household size and composition?
Regards
Charitha
