Facilitating the shift toward activity-based modeling: An EAABM perspective

The transition from aggregate trip-based models to disaggregate activity and agent-based approaches represents a paradigm shift in European planning practice. Since its inception two years ago, the European Association of Activity-Based Modeling (EAABM) aims to facilitate this transition by connecting stakeholders and propagating best practices through its dedicated committees. Drawing on insights from international exchanges and member surveys, this paper 'takes stock' of the ABM ecosystem. Drawing on insights from EAABM events and exchanges over the past two years, this paper evaluates the current state of the fi eld across four key domains: software, education and training, planning and policy, and research. We identify barriers to the widespread implementation of activity-based modelling in transport planning and its interdisciplinary frontiers such as energy and public health.
