Londinium - A MATSim dataset

Londinium is a semi-synthetic dataset for use with MATSim agent based models. The intention is to provide a dataset small enough to use when running MATSim on a typical developer laptop, but big enough to give MATSim a useful workout. Londinium uses real OSM and GTFS data, combined with a synthetic population of agents.

The Londinium dataset is comprised of:

• "pre-baked", ready-made MATSim input files:
  • network
  • vehicles
  • schedule
  • population
• LSOA data - used to generate the agent activity plans
• an OSM data file covering a region in west London - used to generate the MATSim network
• a GTFS public transit schedule for the geographical area covered by the OSM file - used to generate the MATSim network, schedule and vehicles files used as input to MATSim
• a synthetic MATSim population of 100 agents with travel plans inside this region

OSM Data

We chose the location so as to have a selection of different public transit modes, allowing us to see agents interchange modes. We also wanted to have a mixture of major and minor roads, which this particular section of west London gives us.

Population Data

The Londinium synthetic population includes various activities, personal attributes and modes. The agents created were classified into different subpopulations by gender and income. Activities are Home-to-Home round trips, all within 24 hours. Daily activity plans for each agent were created using random choice. Agents choose different travel modes such as bus, walk, car randomly for each trip.

The generation of the Londinium population used a notebook from PAM, our open source population activity modeller

We used the above notebook to generate a population including 100 agents. Each agent has an activity plan for the same 24 hour period and randomly chooses a mode between activities.
