An Agent Based Framework for Urban Mobility Simulation

Mobility study is composed of many research areas which one interests us: urban mobility. In the literature, urban mobilities are represented by analytical techniques like stochastic laws or they are defined by simulation tools like Multi-Agents Systems (MAS). The goal of our work is to define citizen behaviour in order to observe population dynamics by a simulation. This strategy is facilitated by a meta-model and a toolkit which are used with a particular method. The latter begins by a conceptual representation of each mobile and finishes by a mobility simulator. This paper aims at describing the mobility simulation toolkit. Thanks to this framework, mobility simulator development is simplified. It allows us to create distributed applications which are based on MAS.
