Activity-based and agent-based Transport model of Melbourne.

  • Project dates: 2021 (ongoing)

AToM is a city-scale multi-modal transport simulation, modelling a full day in the transportation system of Melbourne to understand the intended and unintended consequences of a change in the environment on individuals’ travel behaviour. AToM is an open-source simulation model that represents mobility on a typical mid-weekday in Melbourne.

AToM includes transportation by car, public transport, cycling, and walking and models travel behaviours at an individual traveller and road segment level. Using the baseline mobility of Melbourne captured in AToM, it is possible to examine impacts of “what-if” built environment interventions on travel behaviour.
