49 | | The MAS source code is used as the basis for a new Vehicle Agent System (VAS) module in order to couple MATSim output data (i.e. emissions and movement paths) to PALM-4U. For this, a new coupler MATSim-PALM-4U was created to read the movement paths and traffic emissions of the vehicles from MATSim output and incorporated them into the PALM-4U. Since the time step of the vehicles from MATSim output files (1 second) is larger than the model time step of PALM-4U, the new module of VAS will contain an interpolation/accumulation procedure of the vehicles' emissions for each grid cell of PALM-4U. |
50 | | The interpolation algorithm computes each cell visited by the moving vehicles within the PALM-4U grid and then calculates the fraction of time the vehicles spent in each grid cell. Based on this time fraction, the vehicles' emissions are updated on every grid cell visited by the vehicles. |
