Tomorrow's talk: Urban GHG Modelling Using Agent-Based Microsimulation

[Elizabeth]

Hi everybody,

Tomorrow's talk is on "Urban GHG Modelling Using Agent-Based
Microsimulation", from Eric J Miller in Civil Engineering:

Agent-based microsimulation (ABM) provides the framework for detailed
modelling of urban GHG emissions due to transportation, residential
and other other urban socio-economic activities. The ILUTE (Integrated
Land Use, Transportation, Environment) research team at the University
of Toronto has for some time been developing a comprehensive model of
urban socio-economic processes and energy use for the Greater Toronto-
Hamilton Area (GTHA) within the ABM paradigm. This lecture will
provide a motivation for the ABM approach to urban systems modelling,
an overview of the ILUTE model system, and a discussion of the model
system's cuurent state and prospects for future development and
application.

As usual, the talk is at 3PM in BA 1220, and more information is at

Elizabeth
