This Lesson
5 Topics:
1. Events
2. Log File
3. Visualizer
4. Counts
5. Plots and Text Files
3
Events
• State changes are documented with Events
• Several different Event Types
• EventsHandler to analyze Events
• During Execution of the Mobility Simulation
• As a Post-processing Tool
4
Log File
• Written in every MATSim run
• Documents important information related to the run
• Computer setup (e.g. Number of Cores)
• Java setup (JVM Version, assigned Memory)
• Config parameters (input and interpretation)
• State information of MobSim, Replanning and Scoring
• If you develop a MATSim Extension: add important
information to the Log File!
5
Visualizer
• Developed by the Senozon AG
• Visualize traffic flows and traffic related information like
activity distribution
• Visualization from global view down to single agents
6
Counts
• Compare real world traffic counts and simulation results
• Creation of input counts file from scratch
• Select proper values from various input data
• Map count stations to the MATSim network
7
Plots and Text Files
• By default, MATSim creates some graphical plots and text
files which are very useful for first analyses
• Score Statistics (for every run)
• Travel Distances (for every run)
• Stop Watch (for every run)
• Leg Histogram (for every iteration and mode)
• Trip Duration (for every iteration and activity type pair)
