Zusammenfassung

Rapid growth of urban areas in the developing world are resulting in the need to develop quantitative models for describing land use and transportation dynamics. This fellowship proposes to improve upon an existing urban simulation system of Accra, Ghana, and introduce an integrated transport model for the Ghanaian capital city. Unified operational models that favour a microscopic approach, such as the simulation platforms UrbanSim and MATSim, have gained significant interest in both the land use and transport communities. Still, in their current forms, these models require further dev...
