ABSTRACT

This demo will give an introduction to Opus, the Open Platform for Urban Simulation, an Open Source platform for building simulations of land use, activity-based travel demand, and dynamic traffic assignment. It is a result of an international collaboration of research teams working on integrated land use, transportation and environmental modeling. We have developed a new version of UrbanSim - a simulation system for modeling urban development, originally demonstrated at the Digital Government 2004 Conference - as a component of Opus. We will demonstrate usage of UrbanSim for different stakeholder types, from modelers to policy makers.
