Through the JIBE project (Joining Impact models of transport with spatial measures of the Built Environment), we have developed agent-based transport simulation models (ABMs) capable of depicting complex urban systems. These ABMs model how street-level built environment exposures influence behaviour, accessibility and health with high spatial and demographic granularity. By forecasting travel itineraries, behaviours, exposures, and health for a synthetic population of individuals, these ABMs allow us to simulate scenarios of interest to health and transport planners. These presentations include an introduction to the projects, methods and outputs.
