Dr. Nebiyou Tilahun, UPP, presents a seminar entitled "An agent based model of origin destination estimation (ADOBE)" Wednesday, November 14th at 4:00 pm in Rm 1127 SEO This presentation introduces ABODE, an agent-based model for Origin-Destination demand estimation, that can serve as a work trip distribution model. The model takes residential locations of workers and the locations of employers as exogenous and deals specifically with the interactions between firms and workers in creating a job-worker match and as a result the commute outcome. It is meant to illustrate that by explicitly modeling the search and hiring process, origins and destinations can be linked at a disaggregate level that is reasonably true to the actual process. The model is tested on a toy-city as well as using data from the Minneapolis-St. Paul region. The toy-city model illustrates that the model predicts reasonable commute outcomes, with agents selecting the closest work place when wage and skill differentiation is absent in the labor market. The introduction of wage dispersion and skill differentiation increases the average home to work distances considerably. Using data from the Minneapolis-St. Paul region, it is shown that the model captures aggregate commute outcomes well. Overall, the results suggest that the behavior rules as implemented lead to reasonable commute patterns. Future improvements and directions are also discussed. Biography: Nebiyou Tilahun is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Urban Planning and Policy. He received his PhD from the University of Minnesota in 2010. His main research interests include transportation planning and policy, travel behavior, and the social and equity issues in urban transportation. Prior to joining UPP he was a post-doc at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota and at the Urban Transportation Center (UIC). |
