Multi-user-type travel simulator based on open travel data

We have developed a simulator for evaluating changes in travel quality experienced during travel in multi-modal transit systems. The simulator has a new behavior model for users of multimodal systems that includes changes of user satisfaction, route and mode choices during travel, and interaction with on-line route guidance. This paper proposes a method for implementing user behavior models based on travel survey data, and describes an application example using open data for the city of Sydney.
