About this event
Many Australian State Government Transport Authorities are currently developing new types of strategic transport modelling tools called Activity and/or Agent Based Models.
These models are different to current strategic transport models that underpin infrastructure and policy planning across the country in a number of different ways.
This event includes a presentation from Joe Castiglione from the San Francisco County Transportation Authority highlighted practical use cases of this new generation of modelling tools from the USA as well as presentations focusing on the development of new generation models in Australia and New Zealand.

Deputy Director for Technology, Data, and Analysis | San Francisco County Transportation Authority (SFCTA)
Joe has been developing, refining and applying activity-based models for 25 years. He led the development of the first activity-based travel model used extensively in application in the US, and is the chair of the international multi-agency consortium developing the open-source ActivitySim activity-based model platform. Joe has led activity-based model applications for a wide range of transit, active transportation, and roadway infrastructure investments, long-range plan development, and social equity analyses. Joe also leads the Transportation Authority's data collection and research efforts and led the development of the Transportation Research Board’s Activity-Based Travel Demand Models: A Primer. Joe will describe the SFCTA’s experience with implementing and applying activity-based models to support long-range plan development, scenario assessment, transit and roadway infrastructure investment, and to advance equity analyses.
Pedro Camargo | Director | Outer Loop Consulting
Pedro is a transport scientist with 20 years of experience developing forecasting models. Pedro is a founding member of Outer Loop Consulting and leads the company’s model development and freight practices. He is also a researcher at Argonne National Laboratory, where he is part of the team developing the agent-based model Polaris. Pedro has a particular interest in scientific computing and open-source software and is the creator of AequilibraE. Pedro will give an overview of Polaris, its pros and cons and a sneak-peak of the first Polaris model for a place outside the US.
Michael Byrne | Associate - Data Modelling | Arup
Michael Byrne is an Arup Associate based in Melbourne, leading advanced transport analytics and modelling across Australasia. He has extensive experience developing and applying specialist transport models both locally and internationally. Michael will discuss the growing use of activity and agent-based transport modelling across Australia and New Zealand, and how this is fundamentally changing the way quantitative forecasting is used to support infrastructure and policy planning.
