Aviation Forecasts Through Validation of an Agent-Based Multimodal Transportation Model

A multi-paradigm approach to system dynamics modeling of intercity transportation

“…The latest version of Mi applies spatial explicitness with a granularity of the Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) and assesses the interaction between commercial air transportation supply and demand (Lim et al, 2007;Lim, 2008). The model was validated against available transportation databases and able to reproduce the historical demand data nearly two decades starting from 1995 (Lewe et al, 2011). A brief introduction to the mechanics of Mi is necessary for the reader to better understand the later sections.…”

Regional climate impact of aerosols emitted by transportation modes and potential effects of policies on demand and emissions

“…The latest version of Mi applies spatial explicitness with a granularity of the Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) and assesses the interaction between commercial air transportation supply and demand (Lim, 2008). Mi was calibrated on the 1995-2010 period for both air and ground transportation modes (Lewe et al, 2011).…”
