History

"The MATSim project started with Kai Nagel, then at ETH Zurich, and his interest in improving his work with, and for, the TRansportation ANalysis and SIMulation System (TRANSIMS) project; he also wanted to make the resulting code open-source. After Kai Nagel’s departure to TU Berlin in 2004, Kay Axhausen joined the team, bringing a different approach and experience." cite-ref-horni2015-1-0[1]

Areas of Application

MATSim has been applied to various areas: road transport,cite-ref-2[2] public transport,cite-ref-3[3] freight transport, regional evacuation etc. cite-ref-horni2015-1-1[1]
