Kurzfassung Dieser Aufsatz gibt eine knappe Darstellung des Modellsystems MATSim-T und einer Anwendung in Grossraum Zürich. Die Betonung liegt auf den erreichbaren Rechenzeiten und damit auf der Anwendbarkeit für Planungsstudien. Der Ausblick zeigt auf, in welchen Teilen das Modell weiter verbessert werden kann und soll. Schlagworte MATSim-T, Verkehrsnachfrage, Rechenleistung, Agenten-basiertes Model, Zitierungsvorschlag Balmer, M., K. Meister, M. Rieser, K. Nagel und K.W. Axhausen (2008)

Abstract The model toolkit MATSim-T provides a variety of tools and resulting approaches to model travel demand and traffic flow and their interactions. The currently preferred configuration is presented in this paper together with detailed information about its computational performance. The application is relatively small, but as computing times scale linearly for the system it gives an idea of how the system can be used for practical planning studies. The outlook highlights the next steps of the development.
