Abstract

We consider the problem of modeling urban mobility using the complex systems key of lecture. We discuss the properties of the Auto-mobilis model, a virtual simulator for private car mobility based on the individual citizen propensities and the existence of "chronotopoi", which are the primary causes of citizens' mobility requests. Auto-mobilis is a microscopic agent-based model that takes into account both the physical interactions and the cognitive dynamics. We present the current status of the project and discuss the applications to real situations. The model assumptions are justified by a comparison with GPS observational data on single vehicle trajectories.
