Projects

  • TRANSIMS
    • TRANSIMS is one part of the multi-track Travel Model Improvement Program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Environmental Protection Agency, and Department of Energy with the purpose of developing new, integrated transportation and air quality forecasting procedures necessary to satisfy the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act and the Clean Air Act and its amendments.
  • EpiSims
    • The Epidemiological Simulation System (EpiSims) has been developed with support from the U.S. Departments of Energy, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services, with the purpose of providing an experimental test bed for analyzing proposed responses to natural or intentionally caused disease outbreaks.
  • Population Dynamics
    • Critical information about people falls into two categories: (1) static information that does not change over the course of a simulation, including age, income, communication device ownership, and home location; and (2) time-dependent information, such as an individual's location, type of activity, and health status.
  • Telecommunications
    • Research is being conducted to develop an end-to-end simulation environment for representing and analyzing extremely large, complex telecommunication networks that are made up of cellular networks, public switched telephone networks, Internet networks, and ad hoc mesh networks.
  • Internet Economics and Commodity Markets
    • Markets are sensitive indicators of infrastructure disruptions and are often used to gauge public mood and awareness in crisis situations. We have recently designed and constructed a detailed agent-based analysis tool for the simulation of large commodity markets and the interdependencies with a physical infrastructure using a synthetic urban population mobility data set.
  • Synthetic Data Products
    • NDSSL has produced several synthetic data sets that are being released to the larger academic community for research. The data sets are based on detailed microscopic simulation-based modeling and integration techniques. The data set provided represent a synthetic population of the city of Portland. We expect to make available new and enhanced synthetic data products, including new cities and regions, on a regular basis.
