Roadmap/Focus area(s):	Not Applicable
Project Findings:	Data not yet available
Project Description:	The project will:- develop a theoretical framework for agent-based driver and traveler behavior modeling; - evaluate traditional and emerging data collection methods for agent-based modeling and simulation (ABMS) in transportation; - evaluate alternative implementation platforms for ABMS applications in transportation; - develop an agent-based model of en-route/pre-trip route, departure time, and mode choices toward the integration of travel demand, dynamic network, and traffic simulation models; and- apply the model to transportation systems management and capital investment applications.
