The IVT 2015 baseline scenario

This paper presents the new IVT 2015 baseline scenario for MATSim. It represents a typical workday in Switzerland in the year 2015. The main population is available as a 1% and 10% sample, as well as undiluted. It features attributes, preferences, facilities and households. A cross- border population and a freight population complement the main population. The former represents people coming to Switzerland from abroad, whereas the latter represents freight traffic on a typical workday. The network and the public transport system are based on Open Street Map data and on the official SBB HAFAS schedule. Furthermore, the code, which combines the different input data to coherent, fully functional MATSim scenarios, is discussed from a technical point of view. In a third part, the paper presents the default scenario configuration (configuration file, scoring function and replanning strategies). This configuration is tailored to the population and network described above. The ensemble provides a solid base for future MATSim transport studies at the IVT.
