Microscopic trip chains for Brunswick (Germany) region

The data set contains microscopic trip chains for the Brunswick (Braunschweig) area in Germany on an average day. All synthetic persons within Braunschweig are shown, as well as all households outside Braunschweig where at least one synthetic person had an activity in Braunschweig.

The generation of this data set is based on a two-stage process. The starting point is the macroscopic transport demand model DEMO (Winkler and Mocanu, 2020: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trd.2020.102476) and a population upscaled from the MiD 2017 ("Mobilität in Deutschland") for Germany, which was spatially distributed according to the BKG household dataset (households, inhabitants, federal government). In the first step of the process, the trip chains between the DEMO traffic cells were generated based on the daily schedules of the MiD population (Mocanu and Joshi, 2022: https://elib.dlr.de/188443/). In the second step of the process, corresponding locations were assigned within the target traffic cells. The locations were previously extracted from OpenStreeMap and attributed with activities according to their attributes/metadata (key/value pairs) (Malkus et al., 2024: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.procs.2024.06.043).
