Urban_Dynamics_Agent_Based(GISVersion)

This is the GIS version of the agent-based transport and urban dynamics model of a small
city developed by AnyLogic.
This version of the model is not yet complete in some parts but can serve
as a base for those who are interested in the GIS edition of the original model.
The city is has 5 zones (represented by GISRegion). Each zone has individual
properties: amount of housing and business units and habitation comfort.
People and enterprises are the two types of agents in this model. People work
at enterprises. People can change job if they feel uncomfortable (for example,
due to high living expenses and low salary). Also, people can move from one
zone to another. When choosing the new zone trip times, trip costs and zone
rent price are considered. With growth of prosperity people may change their
habitation zone to more comfortable one and buy cars (in case they need them).

People travel from home to work and back by private cars or by public transport.
Usage of cars results in CO2 emission. Changes of CO2 emission statistics is
collected and indicated in the model.

You can view a zone properties by clicking the zone. You can also pick a random
person or an enterprise to view its individual state.

The model can work in “flight simulator” mode: you can manage the zone
properties (such as business capacity or comfort level) while the model is running
and see the effect of your decisions.

The GIS version of this model has been created by Dr. Ali Asgary
from York University, Toronto, Canada.
