Context Presentation

The ANR SWITCH project is focused on studying the impact of smart city new transport modes on infrastructure. Although the new transports (electric, autonomous vehicles, transport on demand, bicycles, etc.) can facilitate intra-urban mobility and improve the quality of life, they can also create new constraints for which cities must be prepared. Then urban planners need tools to evaluate the impact of urban policies in terms of mobility and infrastructure to explore “What if? " scenarios.

These new simulation tools require mobility simulations on a city scale and on different time scales. As part of the meta-model design for the Smart City simulation, this internship is about developing an urban mobility model allowing to couple a flow-based circulation model with a multi-agent model allowing fine modeling of driver behavior. The internship must carry out a proof of concept on the Gama platform of this type of system on the scale of an agglomeration.
