The latest outputs from researchers, alumni and friends at the UCL Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (CASA).
In the past we have written a number of posts on synthetic populations, however, one thing we have not done is compare the various techniques that can be used to create them. This has now changed with a new paper entitled “Quantitative Comparison of Po…
Continue reading »Human mobility datasets are essential for investigating human behavior, mobility patterns, and traffic dynamics. In the past we have written about how one can use agent-based models to generate patterns of life trajectories datase…
Continue reading »This past week we attended the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting in Washington DC. At the AGU we presented two abstracts. The first follows on our work with respect to using synthetic populations within agent-based models. This work wa…
Continue reading »In numerous posts, we have been discussing synthetic populations and their use in agent-based modeling. But there are many modeling styles that also utilize synthetic populations. In our own work we often spend significant amounts of time creating…
Continue reading »In the past we have written about the use of synthetic populations and their use in agent-based models. We are finding such synthetic populations to be extremely useful in the creation or initialization of agent-based models. To give you a sense of how…
Continue reading »Often we are building geographically explicit agent-based models we spend a lot of time creating the synthetic population to instantiate our artificial world. We have tired to overcome this with creating methods to generate such populations (see this o…
