Abstract
The paper reports about a project, where an agent-based module of location decisions of retailers has been implemented into the agent-based traffic simulator MATSim-T. The retailer module focuses on the retailers’ location choice. Retailers are modeled as agents in the simulation and are allowed to relocate their stores, according to a given strategy, in order to maximize the number of their customers. The paper discusses first the conceptual background of the model and then the actual implementation. A test case, a large scale scenario representing the urban agglomeration of Zurich, Switzerland, is presented. The discussion of the results focuses on possible practical applications of the tool and on further developments. Show more
