matsim-simulation

Configure a MATSim simulation by validating your config.xml file, checking critical parameters like lastIteration, coordinateSystem, and outputDirectory against defaultConfig.xml, then execute via CLI JAR, Maven, or GUI. Monitor progress through log output and verify convergence using generated scorestats.png and modestats.csv files.

Required MATSim parameters include lastIteration, coordinateSystem, outputDirectory, overwriteFiles, networkModes, and useTransit settings. Validate these fields in config.xml before execution; consult defaultConfig.xml for safe defaults to ensure successful simulation runs.

Troubleshoot convergence by validating XML syntax and parameter values, verifying referenced resources exist, checking scorestats.png and modestats.csv outputs, and reviewing logs for errors. Start with a small lastIteration (5-10) to iterate rapidly and identify configuration problems early.

Yes, this Skill supports configuring and running MATSim across PT-only and multimodal scenarios by validating parameters specific to each mode, verifying networkModes and useTransit settings, and validating results for both scenario types.

MATSim simulations can be executed via Command-line JAR, Maven exec, or GUI. Choose based on your workflow; CLI and Maven support automated runs and monitoring, while GUI provides interactive configuration and progress tracking.

Validate configuration by enforcing XML validity, verifying all critical fields are present and correct, ensuring referenced input files (network, population, transit) exist in specified paths, and checking that outputDirectory is writable before execution.
