Project 15: Agent-based activity generation for city infrastructure and emergency planning

Project abstract: The goal of this project is to develop agent-based models to generate daily activities for a population of people that are characterized by a set of demographic attributes based on US census data. The daily schedules for each agent will consist of a sequence of typical geo-located activities, such as sleeping, shopping, working, etc., with their respecting starting and ending times. The socio-technical modeling approach can be used for city infrastructure planning and emergency scenarios.
