Sebastian Horl soutiendra son Habilitation à diriger des recherches (HDR) le 27 mai 2025

Sebastian Horl, Chercheur Senior à l’IRT SystemX, soutiendra son HDR de l’Université Gustave Eiffel intitulée « Towards reproducible agent-based simulations of the transportation system », le 27 mai 2025 de 13h à 16h.

Résumé :

The presentation will cover three main subjects. (1) The first topic is the methodological advancement, development, maintenance, and application of large-scale agent-based transport simulations of cities or regions. Their goal is to represent all entities that constitute the transport system (travellers, drivers, transport services, …) in a disaggregated manner and to understand their dynamic inter-play on a high temporal and spatial resolution. (2) Such simulations can be used to understand the detailed interplay between fleet vehicles and passenger requests for mobility on-demand systems. The talk covers work on benchmarking fleet management algorithms and on improving the representativity of on-demand services in simulation. (3) A major requirement for simulating the movements of people in an agent-based transport simulations is the existence of a synthetic population which describes in detail the households and persons living in a territory, along with their daily activity patterns. The talk covers packages and methods that allow to generate such synthetic populations based on open data and in a reproducible way in France.
