What's Changed
- Improved facility locations
- OSM tag filtering has been improved to reduce number of wrongly assigned facility types
- Update work location assignment within Berlin
- Work locations now use weighted sampling during location choice
- The weight is based on an attraction factor and zone specific probabilities determined from survey data
- Updated GTFS schedule
- The schedule is now based on the 2024-11-19
- Note that there are major changes how stops and links between them are created
- Stops having the same gtfs parent_id and route types are merged together, allowing agents to find better PT connections
- The PT network is created with loop links (on each PT stop) instead of duplicating stops, which also improves connections
- The Berlin Ringbahn is manually adjusted so that each train drives multiple loops the whole day
- New income calculation
- In previous versions income was used directly as household income from the survey data
- Now, the income is calculated as personal equivalent income, which is the household income divided by equivalent household size
- Corresponding attributes have been added to the population file
- Bike mode updated and recalibrated
- Bike is now routed on the network, which results in more realistic travel distances
- Bikes are not simulated on the network, and no link events generated yet. This will likely be added in future versions.
- The road network includes bike infrastructure and corresponding attributes
- The bike infrastructure is not fully complete yet, and has to be carefully evaluated first for bike centric studies
- The avg. bike speed has been set to match SrV2018 survey data (~10.3 km/h)
- New dashboards
- PT Transit viewer
- Emissions
- Noise
