Subject: UrbanSim -- software-based simulation model for urban development
Copied from the web-site http://www.urbansim.org/ :
UrbanSim is a software-based simulation model for integrated planning and analysis
of urban development, incorporating the interactions between land use, transportation,
and public policy. It is intended for use by Metropolitan Planning Organizations
and others needing to interface existing travel models with new land use forecasting
and analysis capabilities.
The UrbanSim software, including full source code, is available for download
via this website. It is licensed under the GNU General Public License, which
means it is free, open source, and any derived works are also covered under the
license. The intent of this licensing approach is to avoid proprietary obstacles
and costs, and to facilitate collaboration between researchers and practitioners
in improving land use and transportation planning and policy.
