A South African scenario for emissions modelling

Abstract

Scenarios with high levels of diversity lend themselves to be represented or imitated by disaggregate, agent-based models as the individual agents can capture the unique attributes of the constituents of the overall system. This paper describes the methodology to establish a baseline transport simulation model, using MATSim, to represent and imitate vehicle-specific emissions. The study area is the multi-metropolitan megacity (and province) of Gauteng, South Afric
