How to Write Your Own Extensions and Possibly Contribute Them to MATSim

Abstract

The three main elements of the MATSim cycle, execution, scoring, and replanning (Section 1.4), operate on what is essentially an in-memory, object-oriented data base of Person objects (Raney and Nagel, 2006). These three elements are the main elements to configure MATSim: Execution The mobsim can be replaced, either by an internally available alternative, or by a fully external mobsim. Scoring The scoring can be replaced, by possibly giving each individual agent a different recipe to compute its score. Replanning Arbitrary implementations of type Plan Strategy can be added to the replanning; these either generate new plans from scratch or mutate
