An Integrated Land Use and Transportation Planning Tool for Sydney, Australia

The SMART Infrastructure Facility at the University of Wollongong, Australia, has been building an agent-based model to explore the feedbacks between transportation and land use. We focus on livability as a key driver of agent's location choice, and in addition to transport we include factors such as: housing costs, population density, socio-cultural diversity and available amenities. In order to build this model we have integrated a Repast Simphony (2.0) based model as the core of the platform with TRANSIMS and a HTML+CSS+JavaScript front end. In this presentation I will cover the current research into agent behaviors, the, as well as the software system we have put together to implement this.
