In the context of the alarming news about climate changes, resource depletion, ecological disasters, and demographic trends, the interest of the researchers and the scientific literature on topics related to sustainability grew exponentially in the past two decades. In 2020 only, the number of publications indexed in the Web of Science (WoS) having the keywords “sustainability” or “sustainable development” in the topic was higher than 42,000. Facing this flood of literature, the present work aims to ease the effort of locating relevant studies about the applications of Agent-based Modeling and Simulation (ABMS) in the research of environmental sustainability. This goal is accomplished by: (a) providing a comprehensive bibliography of recent relevant articles on this topic, (b) identifying the most popular domains of application of ABMS in this field, and (c) building a list of the available simulation tools. We found that most of the selected studies (52%) are designed for management related acticities (decision support, policy making etc.), the application domain addressed by the largest number of articles (27%) is agriculture and related activities (pastoralism, hunting, fishery, and forestry), and the most popular simulation platform is NetLogo (15%).

“…As seen in the left panel of Figure 3, the distribution almost follows a χ 2 distribution. As citizens tend to be normally geographically distributed [30], the distance traveled follows a χ 2 distribution, as does the time spent. The influence of these variables on transport choice was modeled through eight modeling techniques: k-nearest neighbors (KNNs) [31], multinomial logit (M) [32], support vector machines (SVMs) [33], neural networks (NNs) [34], naïve Bayes (B) [35], fuzzy logic (CE) [36], expert knowledge (EK) [37], and random search (RA).…”

Quantifying the impact of the application of sustainable transport policies is essential in order to mitigate effects of greenhouse gas emissions produced by the transport sector. One of the most common approaches used for this purpose is that of traffic modelling and simulation, which consists of emulating the operation of an entire road network. This article presents the results of fitting 8 well known data science methods for transport choice modelling, the area in which more research is needed. The models have been trained with information from Biscay province in Spain in order to match as many of its commuters as possible. Results show that the best models correctly forecast more than 51% of the trips recorded. Finally, the results have been validated with a second data set from the Silesian Voivodeship in Poland, showing that all models indeed maintain their forecasting ability.
